It is weekend, so I spent my last days here in Miami drinking and partying Downtown (that is actually what the whole city is about!). I also met some more local people.
My main conclusion.
- Miami is still very South American. No matter if in the hostel or a supermarket. People generally first speak Spanish. English is rather secondary. All local people I met in Miami were native Spanish speakers. I wouldn't have expected that in the US.
- Local people here are very materialistic and work driven. They work pretty much all day to have a nice flat and car. Since they just got 2 weeks of vacation, they spend there money in a splurge.
- Visitors to Miami are mainly after the party. Most of Miami Beach is directed to tourism (and a rather luxurious kind of it). Backpacking is very uncommon for this city and there are only

I just had a look
I was fascinated by the liberal approach of this church in the heart of Miami Beach. I think I talked almost an hour with the minister about traveling the the US election.
The coastline along Miami beach is stuffed with luxurious apartment buildings and marinas
