First Stop, Miami, Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne is a Florida town on a barrier island across the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami.

It lies between 2 large parks—Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park—each with long, sheltered beaches, mangroves and tropical forest inhabited by birdlife, butterflies and loggerhead turtles. The latter is home to the 19th-century Cape Florida Lighthouse.

It's a blessing to have a very supportive family, who stands by you all the time. This time, I made a 24 hours stop in Miami, where I had the chance to met my cousing and niece.

This was the first step on my journey to Varna, Bulgaria. After arrival, they treated me to the world-famous Peruvian food.

Peruvian cuisine reflects local practices and ingredients—including influences from the indigenous population including the Inca and cuisines brought in with immigrants from Europe (Spanish cuisine, Italian cuisine, German cuisine), Asia (Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine) and West Africa.

Without the familiar ingredients from their home countries, immigrants modified their traditional cuisines by using ingredients available in Peru.
