Back home in the US we have two last races to win.
I love Florida for the good weather, the sun and the splashing in the sea. However, it is also a fun place to jump and run on the top of the Latino inspired pieces of architecture.
I call it Lollipop fun!
Florida is not only the home to Disney Land and the Epcot Center, but this time I prefer to stay here at the beach.
Even though Florida is very popular for amusement parks, Kennedy Space Center the production of oranges, today we ar focusing on winning the Miami skateboard race.
Before we start I refresh myself with a relaxing bath at the pool.
Lunchtime is important, too! I am going to order the biggest bean meal that we can find on the lunch menu.
The climate and wildlife is yet another aspect that I have to integrate into our upcoming skateboard and fart reality.
The climate varies from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south and this is the reason why there are some of the most intriguing animals living here.
Some of Florida's iconic animals are the cockroaches, the swarms of mosquitos and of course the American alligators, the crocodiles, the Florida panthers and the manatee. All of these animals can be found in the Everglades National Park.
I amuse myself about the rules of some of the national parks out here. They suggest not to feed the dangerous animals and to keep pets save inside the boat. Who takes pets to a place where alligators live?
I don't!
One thing is for sure, we are going to stay here at the beach where we feel safe and protected.
At least if we don't get too far from the shore, I consider the beach safer than a boating trip through the Everglades.
Of course there are sharks in the sea, but at least we can control our destiny as opposed to getting into an adventure with an alligator by taking a tour through the Everglades.
There have been scary stories happening with alligators and crocodiles.
Well, I might just give you some hints about the wildlife of Florida.
The most interesting things about alligators and crocodiles in Florida are the following tips:
Alligators are powerful when closing their mouth but relatively weak when opening their mouth. A strip of duct tape or the bare hands of an adult male can hold their jaws shut.
Besides living throughout Florida, American alligators also live in Louisiana and parts of other southeastern states.
Chinese alligator are only half the size of the American alligators.
The alligator and the crocodile are similar in appearance except for their snout. An alligator has a broad and short snout and the crocodile has a long and pointed one.
The Florida Everglades is the only place in the world where both alligators and crocodiles live.
I love these intriguing facts and enjoy reading about them at the pool.
As I reflect upon these facts, I can't help thinking about some unique and creative way of how I can integrate some new Ninja ways because a winning defense is what we are after.
Let me think!
What about a skateboarding freestyle powered by some enormous chili bean fart vapor clouds in the size of an alligator?
Yeah, that might be a good approach because the size of the farts is what really matters and the bigger the better.
Let's keep the idea of alligator sized fart clouds in mind.
As we are sitting by the pool, I am ordering another portion of bean burritos with hot sauce for El Ninjo.
As I am watching El Ninjo gulp down his lunch, I am coming back to my initial thought.
I am thinking to myself. Well, El Ninjo does not look like a crocodile at all, but he is hungry like one.
If he does not look like an alligator he can at least produce alligator sized farts and I am going with this idea.
I instruct El Ninjo with my idea of the size of the farts and I shout out our secret code:
"Go get’ em Doc!"
We start the race on one of the most beautiful rooftops in the Art Deco District. It is the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world.
It comprises lofts, apartments, hundreds of hotels and other beautiful structures and sites.
El Nijo pushes the most bombastic stinky green alligator-sized fart vapor clouds in the air to power the skateboard up.
We fly over stunning Mediterranean style streamlined modern and art deco architecture.
As we skateboard over this district's top we are taking a look at the most breathtaking views of Atlantic Ocean and we can get a glimpse of the colorful beaches and surfers from the highest buildings’s tops.
The highlight of this race is the part where we are fart-parachuting from the highest building's top. This final strategic moves us via the smartest shortcut shot and in quickest and most effective way back to a point where we are able to make it quickly to South Beach and Biscayne Bay.
Biscayne Bay is a lagoon that is approximately 35 miles long and up to 8 miles wide. It is located on the Atlantic coast of South Florida. It is usually divided into three parts: North Bay, Central Bay, and South Bay.
The North Bay of the Biscayne Bay lies between Miami Beach barrier island and Miami on the mainland.
Central Bay is the largest part of the bay. It is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Safety Valve and South Bay is nearly as large as Central Bay.
This was by far one of the more exhausting races because of Florida's burning sun and the fact that we had to cross an enormous distance.
The inspiration of applying a new dimension of alligator-sized farts to our Ninja skateboard fart discipline is what actually turned the Florida race into a winning advantage for us.
We have been able to terminate the Miami skateboard competition powered by alligator-sized farts as winners because we were able to reach the goal at the end of Florida's first bridge across Biscayne Bay. This bridge was once the 2.5-mile wooden Collins Bridge and it was the longest wooden bridge in the world.
The original wooden causeway was replaced in 1925 by a series of arch drawbridges and renamed the Venetian Causeway.
I love the name because it reminds me of my souvenirs from Venice. I especially like the fact that the causeway is used by people for exercising.
Jogging and bicycling seem to be the two most favorite disciplines around here.
I like the sportive spirit around here and think that I will be coming back for some more experimentation with skateboarding and farts.
Maybe the next time I am ready to attack the Everglades with some real Ninja skateboarding superpower fart freestyle!
This is for the next time, but for now let's think about our final destination which is Los Angeles.
