Sunny Beach—Miami

Miami is a seaside city at the southern tip of the United States, located on Biscayne Bay on the Florida Peninsula.

When I was an undergraduate student in Pittsburgh, the winter there was very cold and long, and the snow was difficult to melt. Although the spring break was relatively short, only one week, it was often a good time for northerners to fly to warmer places for vacation. opportunity. During the spring break of 2015, I went to Miami with two Korean female friends.

Compared to the cold winter in Pittsburgh, Miami is simply in bloom. In China, northerners are generally taller and southerners are smaller. Different from the differences between people in the north and south of China, in Miami, due to the sunny weather all year round and the locals' love of sports and food, people here are usually tall and have healthy wheat-colored skin. Together with two other girls, I looked particularly small and exquisite in the crowd.

The impression of Miami is the vast blue sky, the vast sea, white clouds floating in the sky, coconut trees and palm trees growing lushly on the roadside, swaying in the wind.

The weather in Miami in March is not too hot. Some people wear long sleeves and long pants, and some wear short-sleeved shorts. Surrounded by the blue sea, luxury cruise ships and yachts can be seen everywhere. We came to a park called Maurice A. Ferre Park to watch the city scenery. Under the bright sunshine in March, everything is bright and clear. Forgive me that I used to like to use filters when taking photos, so the contrast in these photos looks slightly weaker and more artistic and fresh. Standing in the park, you can vaguely see the city across the sea, with sparse high-rise buildings. In short, in Miami, you feel the emptiness and freedom more strongly than in other American cities. You will feel like running, wanting to embrace the sea, the palm trees and the sun.

We came to the popular scenic spot Bay Market. I remember I bought a purple sun hat from a mobile stall on the street. I was bargaining with the boss, but he refused to give me a cheaper price, so he asked me: "Do you speak Spanish?" "I don't speak Spanish, but I can speak some French." I think they are all foreign languages. Bar. Unexpectedly, the boss actually gave me a preferential price. Bay Market is such a market with all kinds of novelties and handicrafts. You can see famous works of art, trendy dolls, and even Disney doll stores. We had a great time shopping in such a trendy seaside market.

When you come to Miami, one of the beaches you must visit is South Beach. I heard that there are no people on the North Beach and the Central Beach, and only the South Beach is the most popular. There are many people playing beach volleyball on the beach. Both men and women show strong muscles. Wearing cool clothes, they sometimes jumped up on the beach, sometimes lay down to save the ball, and had a lot of fun. We spent half the day sunbathing on the beach. We applied a thick layer of sunscreen, then lay on the beach, feeling the hot sun touch our skin, which gradually turned our pale skin into a blush. We stayed there until the evening, when the sun began to set and the sky began to turn colorful.

Some people were reluctant to leave and kept lying on the beach enjoying the last rays of the sun. I stood on the beach and looked up at the sky decorated with coconut trees. The lavender sunset that appeared there set off the last orange glow of the sun, which looked particularly beautiful in the evening.

We slowly walked towards the sea and looked at the endless sea on the beach. Suddenly, a couple holding hands came into view, and I captured that romantic moment with my phone. They just stood hand in hand, their feet stepping into the shallow sea. They seemed to be listening to the sea's cheers for their love, tacitly promising their love to the sea, and letting the vast sea witness their love. As a "single noble" at that time, I really envied such pure love, as clear and transparent as the sea water. The sky shows a faint reddish color in the distance, which is the crimson face of the sun hiding in the clouds. Looking back now, I regret that I was timid and took this photo secretly but did not go and give it to them. But they really stood in a very ceremonial manner at that time, and people couldn't bear to disturb the loving tranquility at that moment.

I struggled for a long time, but turned around and left. They will not know that their backs are left on the mobile phone of a girl from an ancient eastern country. And I mentioned them again in my travel articles. If they are still together now, they will definitely get married, have children, and start a family. Bless them, this strange couple in old photos.
