Rob Willett from Taiwan-Morrison-fame graced us with a visit and we had a blast hosting him in Miami.I took him to the Everglades National Park and that was really uneventful. Thus, we provided our own entertainment (pic)!
The usual reaction of the first time visitor to the Everglades is kind of a deflated: "Oh...". I agree, there ain't much to it and the mosquitoes fly in squadrons of 100 each. They always draw blood. They always get their man.
Not to be outdone in the cultural department by the rest of the country, I also took ol' Rob to Schnelby's Winery - the Southernmost winery in the country. Miami does have culture!
Here at Schnelby's they make wine from tropical fruit, and after a few years of imp
erfection they are finally making great tasting wines that I would actually consider buying.
erfection they are finally making great tasting wines that I would actually consider buying.On Saturday Sarah and I took our soon to be China-bound friend kayaking on the intercoastal, from Oleta State Park. In Seattle the water is icy and at first it was very funny watching Rob trying his darnest not to touch the 80 degree water. That is until he realised it is never colder than lukewarm down here in the tropics, and after that we couldn't keep him in his kayak!
