The trip started turbulent. And that's - partially my fault for not trusting my
I was recommended by a couple of friends a small Brazilian cafe in Miami downtown which was only three blocks away from the first hotel (Viceroy Hotel) that we stayed. First day of arrival there I was exploring Downtown and with the Brazilian cafe on my To Go list later on the day. I did my usual visits to Walgreens and CVS (I simply love walking around those corridors and checking out all the new vitamins and junkie food stuff only Americans can do). Mid day arrived and there was I at the Brazilian Cafe. The first impression was not good. The place was rough in a general way. Something told me to stay away but the crave to eat some Brazilian food plus the reassurance that the place had been highly recommended by my friends made me stay.
BIG mistake!!!!!
Later on on the day after meeting Barrie, (a friend who used to live in Miami and is now living in Malibu and who was visiting Miami) for some drinks at the hotel bar I went back to the room and it was as If I had swollen all the nastiness in the world and my whole system was trying to reject everything. It was a whole night of sickness, cramps... I simply couldn't stop walking around the room throughout the whole night due to the horrible stomach and intestine pain. Being in a foreign country the fear of having to go to the hospital, in the middle of the night...not knowing what was happening to me. I recalled my visit to the doctors last month and the exams I did on my intestine and stomach.. "Am I with a horrible illness? Maybe the exams found something wrong and I didn't go back to e doctors to find out!". - so many horrible thoughts linked with fear and pain...lots of pain.
All because I didn't listen to my heart (intuition, instinct or whatever you wanted to call it). I knew since the first minute in at. Brazilian cafe that place wasn't nice. Something wasn't right.
Not listening to my heart did cost me a lot of pain, and over 24hours of my life were wasted.
Anyway...today is day 4 of the holidays, We are now at the SLS hotel in South Beach, the Florida sun is shining magnificent in the blue and clear sky. Let's go and enjoy Life!
