Welcome to Miami! Welcome to Ocean Drive, baby!
We're on the middle of Ocean Drive.
This is the area where most of the TV series Miami Vice was recorded
Back then it wasn't anything special but today the area is very hip
which is also apparent from the cars driving here, especially at the evening
I can't even pronounce the names of all the car makes, but they are expensive
It's obvious that those driving those cars have lots of money
Often you see the men dressed casually in jeans and a shirt
and on their arm
maybe a little harsh
But on their arm, they have a girl in very high heels and next to nothing else on
But they look good
Ocean Drive is also well known for it's many art deco buildings
Art Deco means modern art
They were built in the 1920's and 30's
They are recognized by their vertical and horizontal lines
This building, right behind me
is typical for art deco, also with the windows that go around the edges of the building
Sometimes even a door is located in a corner of the building
And the lines are very clean
And most of the buildings are in bright, pastel colors
I am way off in these clothes!
Ocean Drive is also where you go out to dine at evening
But it is not cheap
But that's not to be expected when you can sit outdoors and look at the ocean
We can't really see it here, but we can clearly feel the ocean breeze
That's marvelous when it's around 100 degrees warm
That's so warm!
