Miami offers a variety of interesting districts. We wish we had more time to visit the beach areas, Little Havana and Wynward, the graffiti district.
Little Havana hosts a huge population of Cuban people; the primary language is Spanish. Here one can savour the flavours of Cuban cuisine, enjoy the musical pulse of the community and purchase cigars. Sunday afternoons beckon the Cuban residents to relax and enjoy the beat of the music. Our driver provided rhythmic entertainment.

| Cuban cigars were purchased here |
 |
| Not much time at this spot but a definite 'come back to explore' this district. |
 |
| Small bars and cafes, local musicians and the Latin beat goes on. |
 |
| Graffiti in Little Havana |
 |
| An exquisite mosaic on the McDonald's exterior wall. |
 |
| Beautiful bouquets on many street corners. |
 |
| Hot, sweaty, having a great time and moving on to the next district. |
Another district we found charming and interesting was the Wynward District, once a decrepit industrial area. A forward thinking entrepreneur purchased most of the warehouses and buildings. He then invited world renowned graffiti artists to create masterpieces on the outside walls of the old buildings. The area is now home to shops, galleries, markets, restaurants and clubs. Chemainus - Miami style.
 |
| Wynward was very busy on a Sunday afternoon; definitely another 'come back to explore' place. |
 |
| Each mural unique and inviting. |
 |
| My favourite wrapped all the buildings' walls; each face was different |
 |
| A happy face to end our bus tour. |
