Hoarse voices reminiscing about last night s wild time; young people in oversized university t-shirts crowding the liquor store; a cabal of high heels waiting for ride shares, with nary a mask in sight.
Pandemic or not, it s spring break in Miami Beach, Fla.
At a hotel restaurant overlooking the beach on Thursday, a group of students from the University of Georgia raised their cocktails to celebrate the start of the weekend. The University of Georgia is one of many colleges that decided to cancel or alter spring break which typically happens in early or mid-March to discourage students from travelling. But the students at the table told NPR they chose to make their own spring break. Several had online classes and exams earlier that day, which they attended from their hotel rooms. It s a story NPR heard over and over again from spring breakers along Collins Avenue, Miami Beach s main drag.
