Thanks to Gloria and Anita, two kind locals we met there, we went to the Aventura Mall shopping center, an absolutely huge place, as everything else in this enourmous city of this big country. You can spend the whole day walking around the 194 stores, 11 restaurants and the rest. I took this pic from the upper level of the Aventura.

After three intense days spent attending the conferences of the Handango Partner Summit 2005, here's the really fun part of the adventure in Miami. No more business, just fun. The weather got better just when we needed it, what a luck! :)
And to think about the fact that Hurricane Dennis hit hard even Miami just as I was writing this report...

Davide Orlando (albegor) > The Sheraton pool area was fantastic. This was the board updated daily with the weather info near the booth where you could get the towels.

Davide Orlando (albegor) > Beach volley with the Handango staff. There you can see Maverick, Iceman and the rest of the Top Gunners...well, maybe! ;)

Davide Orlando (albegor) > A nice Apple store, very stylish, as much as the iMacs and iPods are.

Davide Orlando (albegor) > In the evening the four intrepid shoppers dined at Tony Roma's Restaurant and enjoyed their famous Baby Back Ribs, very delicious even without the sauces. ;)

Davide Orlando (albegor) > The next morning another run around the Bal Harbour Shops since I wanted to take this particular picture. Lately it happens that I talk more often than not with friends about Italy as the Country of Bananas of software development, so this pic is for them hoping to cast a bit of irony over a very serious argument indeed. ;)

Davide Orlando (albegor) > Some more real fun on the beach and into the ocean at last! The weather was simply fantastic. We took some hilarious pics I'd better not publish to avoid exposing myself to public ludibrium.
