Made in Puerto Rico
There is a wonderful restaurant that specializes in delicious Puerto Rican dishes and it is called “Made in Puerto Rico”. The employees were cool to let me take a picture with something behind the counter which I would not have been able to get to do without permission. when dining at "made in Puerto Rico" I dined on a fine dish of seafood paella.

More on my trip to Miami!
another mural I saw while in Little Havana was that of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. I love Little Havana! It makes me think that once Cuba is free again, it's a taste of freedom that will be restored in Havana as well as the rest of the island. You can't beat Bacardi Rum. I saw a mural if Bacardi Rum.
