October break is perhaps not quite as legendary as Spring Break, but since I don't have the pleasure of experiencing the hype of spring break for myself, me and Christine thought we'd make most of our pitiful few days off and go to Miami!!
I never thought I'd appreciate the warmer weather nor the beach quite so much, but damn I MISS THE BEACH! It was so nice just hanging out at the beach for hours each day. Sure it doesn't quite compare to Cottesloe or Scarborough beach, but there was something impressive about the condos that lined south beach, or the knowledge that the Versace mansion was only a block away!
Apart from the beach the days weren't too exciting, wondering around the shops in South Beach was about the highlight. They have some pretty cool shops, too bad it wasn't quite within my budget, and some of the styles were a bit too risque for me, it was still fun to wonder around though.
The nights were fun! We checked out a couple of the clubs in Miami, the most impressive would have to be the Mansion. This huge yet unassuming place from the outside was gorgeous on the inside. As you can guess, the whole place consissted of a mansion theme, with a staircase, chandelier and an armoured knight greeting you at the entrance! The dance rooms were filled with beautiful couches, roses, vines, limestone arches, stain glass window bars etc etc. It was a sight to been seen, and we felt like we were truly in Miami! The girls were beautiful and well dressed, although the same can't be said for the calibre of guys, it was still an impressive crowd.
Miami was fun! But there's something about Purdue that feels like home now...
