Then we headed back by Espanola Way and tried some Cuban food. This is the point where I started to realize that I'm kind of indifferent to Latin American food. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very flavorful either. Maybe we were eating the 'tourist' version? John got a paella type dish with chicken and plantains and I got a shrimp appetizer with black beans and rice. The shrimp was clearly frozen and the rice had ham in it, so I made up for it by getting some killer gelato later (that's one thing Miami definitely does right!).
Next, we ventured back over to Lincoln Road for some light shopping and to kill some time before we picked up the Duck Tour.
The Duck Tour was awesome. I've always secretly wanted to do one and it was so much fun. It's the big bus that drives into the water and becomes a boat. So we got a driving tour of South Beach, followed by a boat ride where we saw celebrity homes and the view from the harbor.
After a long day, we called it a night pretty early, grabbing some Colombian food near the hotel (which was better than the Cuban, but still really starchy/meaty) and enjoyed our hotel cable and wrote some postcards. John also had champagne and chocolate cake delivered to the room for my birthday! He truly thought of everything. One more day!
