#53: South Beach (Page 604; 2nd Ed pg 752)

July, 2002: I booked a Carribean Cruise with two of my friends that started and ended in Miami. We decided to fly to Miami a couple days before the cruise and stay at South Beach. Here we are in front of Gianni Versace's house where he was killed in 1997. But the true highlight of South Beach for us was the beach itself...... because we ran into Leonardo DiCaprio and Toby McGuire. They were there with friends and jet skis. We talked to Leonardo for a few minutes, but alas, we weren't brave enough to ask for a picture!
Verdict: Because of our celebrity encounter, it made it one of my favorite memories and spots. However, without that encounter, the beach itself isn't anything above and beyond any other beach. Although, Ocean Drive is pretty cool to experience.
