New York and Florida
After 2 years, it was time to set foot on that big continent. This time we went East coast, starting in New York and finishing in Florida.
New York was amazing and we end up walking almost the entire city from downtown, ground zero, to Harlem. We started by Chinatown where I encounter a particular barber shop :
Day or night, it seems that the city never sleeps. I must say it is certainly much more happening than Paris where after 2am everything is closed.
On our last day, we went up the Empire State Building to embrace the view of the entire city.
Then it was down to Florida. Miami for a start. We had to go to South Beach. The display of colors and 30's building is a treat for the eyes.
Bars and restaurants everywhere, the sight is much better at night when all neon lights are on, a real show.
Our trip took us to Key Largo, via the Everglade, for a 3 days diving trip. It was raining most of the time and being in the water did not change anything, except ther no wind under water. We did a shark feeding dive where the guy fed nurse sharks and a monstruous barracuda. We also saw another big sea creature that, up until now, has not been identified!
