Two days in Miami

We couldn't land at Key West due to high winds, so we carried on up the coast and arrived in Miami in the early evening - just in time to go ashore and watch the second half of the Superbowl in a bar.
Our ship is docked right in the centre of Miami and the city surrounds us in all directions, with the city lights twinkling happily.
Today we decided to go on an outing to a suburb called Coral Gables, as it was supposed to be full of historic buildings and fountains. 
Nothing looked very old, and it was full of huge expensive looking houses on beautiful streets. Huge trees called Live Oaks dominated the scene, although the pavements were very hit and miss and just randomly disappeared.
We needed to find guidebook to tell us more about the area so we went to the City Hall to ask the staff. They were so shocked that we had walked the mile or so from the nearest train station to their office, that instead of giving us a guidebook, the manager offered to drive us to the beach in her own car!
