Le Blog: Le Goin Down South Beach Style

Vintage South Beach

Miami was great, just absolute party heaven. Thankfully I had some practice in Munich with three goodbye parties and other leaving events, but all of it paled in comparison to what goes on in South Beach. It was TONS of fun and I am really really happy I went. In fact, I liked Florida so much that I am looking at retiring homes down there. Because after my vacation I never ever want to drink or dance or stay up late ever again. I'm ready to go to a home and play shuffle board for the rest of my life.

Here are some photos to give you a taste:
