palme d' or at the biltmoreSun yourself in Miami Beach -...
Sun yourself in Miami Beach - I'd only spent about an hour on Venice Beach, CA a couple of years ago (I never was a 'sun' person), but this time it was definitely a different experience.
I will warn other 'pale-skinned-winter-lovers' to be careful in the sun - it didn't take long for me to burn those parts which I didn't cover in sunscreen - I'd lathered up before leaving the apartment, but when I got to the beach, I REMOVED MY SHOES(!!!) and walked across the beach - therefore, despite digging my toes into the warm sand while I lay back & read a good book, my feet got quite burned (they turned purple, actually!) The accomodations... they were FREE!
Relatives have a condo there, and their daughter has one in the same building, so between the two, I stayed a week at no charge - not too shabby, for a building on Ocean Drive in South Beach (the Miami nightlife 'hot-spot'), one of the condos looking out on the ocean - just a 60-second walk away...
Of course, one must give up SOMEthing for a free stay - so I had to enjoy 4 nights in the nice apartment with the ocean view, and 3 in the one under renovations, with boarded-up windows...
