I'm in Miami the first part of this week on a business trip. The most remarkable thing is the contrast from my last visit a couple years ago: the whole city remains visibly scarred from the after-effects of Hurricane Wilma.
I didn't bring my camera on this trip, but I should have. Every high-rise downtown has boarded-up windows (including the hotel I'm in), and some buildings have entire walls of plywood; there are piles of debris--mainly downed trees--in the middle of parks and empty fields; and blue tarps are everywhere. As an aside, I think that particular shade should be named "FEMA Blue." Construction and cleanup is going on all around me. The hotel (being a really nice hotel) is trying its best to pretend that nothing happened, but as soon as you take two steps out the door it is unmistakable. Amazing. Just amazing.
