Miami is a lovely place to live particularly in the winter time.  It's really the only time of the year when you can bust out that nice sweater or jacket that has otherwise been hanging in your closet for 10 months out of the year. Putting on an extra layer in Mia makes me feel as if I've spiced things up a little, if you will.    Many thanks as always to MylesTec for locking in timelessness. 

While I'm on the subject of spicing things up do note that Miami + December = Art Basel and a series of other art related festivals. In general Mia is poppin' off in a very major way this time of the year.  The 305 receives visitors from all over the world during this week and parties go off in clubs, warehouses, homes and outdoor private and public spaces.  I had an excellent time this year. The art and music was excellent at all the spots I hit. If you haven't been to Mia during this time of the year I highly recommend it.  

On the subject of Art and Music, of note this week is heavy hitter AfriColombia and their coverage on the Picot or Colombian Sound Systems found in the Cartagena - Barranquilla Region.  I've heard and seen some of these Sound Systems and it's an amazing experience. Nuff respect to AfriColombia for the education and excellent information. Also check AfricaAmbiance for more.
