I took Sarah on a wee date Sunday night, South Beach.
Ever felt ridiculously out of place somewhere?! I had the same feeling in South Beach as I always had when we visited Clifton, Cape Town, as students.
We walked the bustling Ocean Drive and had a quaint dinner on the sidewalk of the Mambo Club. Dancer's, outdoor swimming pool next to the sidewalk, waiters in strange clothing.
Man, were we ever people watching!
Someone explained to us soon after we arrived in Miami that with all the immigrants in this city, it is a stepping stone to other things for most. In my office there are six people - seven different countries represented. The population evolves, changes all the time.
Miami is a transient city.
A city with a lot of personality, but no soul.
