Off to Bongos

March 6, 2011 P.M.

After a long day of traveling, we finally made it to our hotel in Miami, Florida. We then got settled in our hotel, the Rodeway Inn. After that, we all met back up and went to the famous Bongos, owned by the internationally known artist Gloria Estefan. The place was very lively, despite the lack of other people present. The place was huge and it included a VIP section, which we got to explore. It was incredible. There were various types of Latin music that fuelled the eating experience. It was great to try new kinds of foods; everyone got to taste a sample of all the different Cuban food selections by sharing the appetizer sampler. Everyone got to try their own dishes, which we shared with one another.

This was a great experience for the first night staying in Miami because we got to go to a renowned restaurant that put us into the experience of the Miami lifestyle, which is saturated in Cuban culture due to the close proximity of the island. The overall mood during dinner was lively. I feel like this group dinner with everyone was very important for bringing the group together. The dinner brought people into conversations and stimulated the newly bonded friendships. Bongos was lavish and a great place to take photographs. It was ultimately a great experience.




After dinner, we went back to our hotel in which we all met up and discussed the next day’s itinerary. This was great to get everyone’s input on the next days plan. Then we all made sure to sleep at a reasonable hour to get ready for the orientation the next day.
