The very start of our trip in Baltimore. Note
the crappy weather but the clean bodies. |
|

|
 |
About an hour past Jacksonville, FL, after
having spent the night, in our car, at a truck stop. The clean bodies from before are
gone. So what are we doing here in front of some oranges? In this very
spot was the Waffle House
(the southern fixture) where Amir ate his first ever bowl of grits. Mighty tasty. |

 |
On the way down, we drove by the Kennedy Space
Center (where all the space shuttles are launched from) and spent an awesome day. Watch
Ricky as she floats weightlessly in an orbiting capsule. |

Good old Espanola Way. On the right was the
hostel we stayed in...pretty, huh? A nice, European-style street in the middle of an
historic Spanish district. We found this hostel our first night while walking around.
After inquiring about vacancy and being told about our slim chances, we
checked again early the next morning, lucked out, and got ourselves... |

 |
...this room. Only $50 a night! |

In the water, as Ricky tries to drown Amir.
Or maybe it was the other way around. I'm not sure. |

On the last day of our trip we drove to Key
Largo and rode a boat out to go snorkeling. That weird thing sticking out of my body is
my left arm. |
|
|
|
 |
One of the many cool fishies we saw in the
coral reef. Apparently Key Largo is the best place in America to snorkel... |

Here you have a photo of the best part of the
trip, hands down. In front of me you will find the greatest combination of foods ever to be
put together on a plate: black beans, rice, and plantains (banana-like fruits). I had
this Cuban meal at least once a day for the duration of the trip. Who knew Cubans had this
in them?! |

The very end of our odyssey. Quite a sad day. |
