Lost in the nature the Cadwell family worship for Thanksgiving, a typical american event. Thanksgiving always take place the last thursday of November. This the occasion to have a big meal with the whole family . Of course the traditionnal turkey lays in the middle of the table. I'll spend a couple of days in this quiet paradise of nature.
Miami is a worldwide known city. And so I couldn't spend 4 weeks in Florida without visiting this town. Gil, a friend of Ray, picked me up early to take the train direction Miami. People offen complain that there are no public transportation in the USA, wich is not completely true. Inside Miami we took the Bus and then the subway... We visited the Botanical Garden in the morning, and after having lunch at the end of the Art Deco Quartier, we went back to Downtown Miami to the Southern Florida Historical Museum. Thank you Gil for this interesting visit of Miami.
The pretty Church of Bethesda lay between the Intercosto and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a really romantic place. The gardens all around the church make sure that the deads rest in peace. A very pleasant place.
In the really fancy city of West Palm Beach Henri Flagler settled down in the beginning of the 20st century. At this time this spot was known as Floridas Rivieira. The Flagler Museum is actually one of the three houses of Henri Flagler. His house was the place of several bals. Inside the building, there is a room for quite anything : bal room of course, library, breakfast and dinner rooms, pooltable room, and many guest rooms.
The Keys are Islands in the south of Florida. Many bridges have been built to connect each island. The most southern spot of the United States lay on Key west the city at the end of the Keys. "Coconuts" Charlie offered us (a german student and myself) our lunch. The coconut is a good way to avoid the hung-over... On the way back, we stopped to catch the sunset by the 7-mile Bridge...
All begins with a traditional American breakfast. It's 6 in the morning and a long Sunday stand before us. Orange juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, roasted bacon and pancakes with maple syrup shall keep us fed up to the lunch. 
At dinner we'll have fish in a very European way. A pretty restaurant beside the water makes us drool over white wine, red snapper fish, lime dessert and Cuban coffee.
