Running up and down the wooden stairs back forth. I was excited to go to Miami this summer. Throwing in my favorite rip shorts, blue tank and black sneakers. I smell bake bacon from the kitchen. I knew my mom was cooking breakfast before I leave for my trip. I had to put something in my tummy before I took off. Miami is the most southerly city in the continental United State. Miami is a memorable trip to me because of the beautiful South Beach, the different restaurants and the everglades.
Chirp, chirp, chirp as I hear and see the lovely black birds past me. While I'm running on the beach, I could see the sun cast its golden rays down upon the cloud turning them bright red, fired red. Its 6:30am in beautiful Miami. I hear the splashing

Everywhere I look I could see a massive wait at the door. Lucky for me I made a reservation. I went to this restaurant call "43 Sea". The young male host sat me at a comfortable red booth. My server greeted me right away with her pearly white teeth. All I wanted was a cold water with lemon. While I waited for the waitress to come back, I could smell something fishy. Yes, of course someone order fish. Gross! The restaurant was really coward and full of people with smiles on their faces. Waa, Waa, Wawa! I could hear the baby crying out for its mother. I got the Grilled to perfection; 1 l/b grilled lobster, asparagus, crispy fingerling potatoes. My food came out smelling fresh. My food tasted delicious. I ate everything off my plate. But I had to order dessert. There is so many delicious desserts that I wanted to try. I choose the cheesecake that is made with cream cheese and cottage cheese. Its smooth and creamy, just sweet enough, with a hint of tartness. The taste just blew my heart away. On the 5th page there's 26 dessert listed. I was so full. I couldn’t eat anymore. Picture this sitting at a table with a full round belly. Enjoying every little piece of my plate.
While I was down Miami I had to visit the Everglades. It was hot. I got on a white boat with the tall tour guide man to show me around. He told me that 1.5 million acres of the saw grass marshes, mangrove forests, and hardwood hammocks by wetlands.
Have you ever wondered why the Tampa Bay area is always so hot and storms every afternoon in the summer time? Living in Tampa my whole life I never thought twice about why every day in the summer time we were hit with an afternoon thunderstorm, it was just common knowledge. Tampa Bay is in Florida, and also known as the lightning capital of the United States of America. Florida is right at the most south eastern portion of the United States and is a peninsula, so the conditions are just right for afternoon thunderstorms. There is much more than just simple evaporation and precipitation going on, there is a list of consistent factors at play that cause the Tampa Bay area to receive these thunderstorms. Some of the factors that cause Tampa Bay to have such a predictable climate are the air masses surrounding the south eastern portion of the United States and cold fronts coming from the west.
...restore natural lands. The federal, state, and local governments are joining forces to bring these pristine natural lands back to their original splendor and beauty. "The question of why we should protect the Everglades has now evolved into how we should restore the Everglades," according to Suzie Unger. "Everglades National Park is the largest remaining sub-tropical wilderness in the continental United States and has extensive fresh and saltwater areas, open Everglades prairies, and mangrove forests. Abundant wildlife includes rare and colorful birds, and this is the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles exist side by side. The park is 1,506,539 acres (606,688 hectares) in size. It is a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Significance," according to the following website: http://nps.gov/ever
The Florida Everglades is one of the most diverse wetland ecosystems in the United States. These tropical wetlands span an area of more than seven hundred square miles in southern Florida. The term Everglade means river of grass. The system starts in central Florida near Orlando and travels southwest to the tip of Florida. The Everglades has a wet season and a dry season which causes a great change in hydrology. During the wet season the system is a slow moving river that is sixty miles wide and over a hundred miles long. During the dry season water levels drop and some areas will completely dry up. The Everglades has many different aquatic environments all having interdependent ecosystems. The most important factor for all these environments is water. It helps shape the land, vegetation, and all the organism that live in each area. Each environment has particular needs for the organisms living in that area. Throughout the years humans have diverted the water to fit their varying needs. The state has built dikes and levees, dug canals, and have built locks to divert the water. This has all been done to keep areas completely dry for developing and agricultural needs. Today, The Everglades is half the size of its original size. Throughout the years many restoration acts have been created and updated. The Everglades restoration projects have been the most expensive environmental repairs in The United States. This is because The Everglades is one of the three most important wetland areas in the world. The Everglades National Park is the home of thirty six protected species including the West Indian Manatee, the American Crocodile, and the Florida Panther. The Everglades also homes hundreds of species of birds, fish, mammals, and repti...
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. " On a recent afternoon, Scott McKenzie watched torrential rains and a murky tide swallow the street outside his dog-grooming salon. Within minutes, much of this stretch of chic South Beach was flooded ankle-deep in a fetid mix of rain and sea."
While Miami is experiencing some hard times during the past years, it is still a city full of life and opportunity. Cultures come together in Miami like a city unlike no other. It has the fame and glamor, but still suffers from poverty and corruption. It provides many of opportunities for people, especially those coming from Latin America. While Miami is still one of the biggest cities in the United States, I believe it will continue to survive and reclaim its title as the “Magic City”.
hand are only a few of the many memories I have of Miami, Florida. Being around the water,

Miami is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. It offers everything you long for in the perfect vacation.
Initially, Saint Augustine encountered the questions about evil and God’s power and goodness, but his solution was to resort to Manichaeism. The Manicheans preached that there is a God of light and a God of darkness. This, theoretically, makes perfect sense to Augustine as it rationalizes that the God of darkness creates evil, and the God of light has power over the domain of good. When introduced to Platonism he truly begins to understand the true reason for evil without dismissing the perfect good and power of God.
The smell is so delightful you are now tempted to buy a pie for yourself. Quickly, you spot many restaurants and the variety of food each restaurant offers. It makes you want to eat everything and now you are indecisive as for what you should eat.

Thirty years in the future I see myself being fourth-eight years old with some wrinkles around the edges but not too wrinkly. In fact, I hope I retain my youthful skin at that age. I don't really know what to think of thirty years into the future let alone just one year into the future. Hopefully I would have fulfilled my dreams of becoming a famous singer by the time I'm fourty-eight and getting ready to retire soon. I don't want to be one of those singers that are in there fifties and still trying to hold on to their fading fame like Madonna or Maira Carrey. I hope that I would be married with a couple of kiddos by then. My husband would be a handsome man who loves God ,loves his career, and is as goofy or goofier than me. If I have two kids
Highschool is not like the movies show it. Jocks are not always bullies, books are not slapped out of people’s hands on a daily basis, and getting A’s does not make someone a nerd. It is some of the most important years an individuals life. Highschool most of the time determines someones appearance to the world until they are an adult. If you do something amazing in highschool many people will remember you for it. The same thing goes for doing something with serious consiquences as well. Highschool is a tornado that consists of friendships, sports/clubs, and what one will do with their life after highschool.
The Everglades, a huge swamp at the tip of Florida, is a famous wildlife reserve. It is fed by fresh water seeping through it from a lake and river. The water forms pools, marshes, and meandering channels-it is one of the greatest wildlife sites in the world. The heart of this ecosystem is protected by the Everglades National Park, a Biosphere
