    Oh my God, the first time I went to the Miami Seaquarium was in 1978. I remember all these exhibitions, specially the dolphins and the Orcas. I also remember Flipper's house. I remember there was an Ice cream sandwiche machine somewhere around the park. I loved those sandwiches. I wonder in what month of the year this movie was shot.

    @@thedirtybubble9613Believe me, people speaking Spanish are not the problem here, but the recent migrations from the North, which obviously speak English. The Cubans arrived in early 80s and Miami was great in the whole 80s. As a Brazilian i would 100% prefer to talk to that descendant of Cuban Americans then the ghetto creators you have now. Every city who is too much in the spotlights is target of that kind of people, unfortunately. That happens here in Brazil, we have cities as beautiful as Miami like Balneario Camboriu and Florianopolis, which are very different from the rest of Brazil and very developed, wealthy and modern by Latin American standards. I hope both of us have migrations controlled and we have more free market, the leftards destroyed the whole system with colossal taxes and by turning the country the paradise for bureaucrats/parasites.

    I was in Florida in the late seventies was very small one of the earliest visits from the UK . February 1979 went to a family friend's wedding on my birthday with my maternal parent , and we packed Summer clothes , when we arrieved did not realize that Florida can get quite cold , so straight to Sears to get Winter clothing , and we got some beautiful clothes , give Florida that their shopping is quite world class , I wore a beautiful little dress with flowers and leaves on it , little socks and white boots , long plaits , my Maternal parent wore a fab dress . Over the many years coming to Florida ALWAYS hated the weather , but one Christmas 95 coming on another visit from London nice and cold . Got to Florida my heavens , in the pool one minute out the next , could not even decorate a tree outside wanted to be indoors , went to Christmas Eve service dressed the same way usually dress in London in the Autumn and Winter hats, gloves , scarf and coats very bizarre . It kills me to see people dress like they are on an Artic expedition , and five minutes later it is back to being an oven again, like when Florida is from the late 50s up to 72 beyond that do not want to know , can actually enjoy my excercise walk . This coming week of November 2nd , 2020 another cold front , what complete joy . I hope they have closed Seaworld and Miami Seaquarium , as a child find it entertaining , as you get older find out they are very brutal . Want to see animals entertain , see them in their own natural envrionment .

    My grandparents made the worst decision of their lives selling the home 🏡 we had in north Miami 1120 nw 123 st near Tom S pool on 125 st this home 🏡 was built new we all came from New York city and moved in Oct 72 it was cold 🥶 and I had a great life with my little Italian girlfriend ❤ Rosie at the end of the block we had endless fun in those days every time I drive by I want to cry because it meant the end of happiness for me and them . My grandparents were Miguel and Evelia pena . I was 10 in 1972 when we moved in because of the big mistake on her part convincing my grandfather to sell both the lives of my grandparents later on became very heavy and burdensome I John stayed with them till the last passed on but always felt a separation between them both for the actions they took with the house 🏠 nothing was the same ever. We left the house in late 1979 .
