One of the greatest things about coming to Miami was meeting my air bnb hostess, Penny. Had it not been for her, I might not have stayed in Miami. Not only did she become a great friend but she also showed me some of the lesser known sights and sites - a Thai temple, a place to buy cheap orchids, a bee keeper and his honey farm just to name a few. Her house was always a place where I could go for great conversation, pick up a few plants or fresh eggs, grab a cup of tea and enjoy the company of her dogs, of which Poppy is one.
