Four-wheeled fantasies

Tucked away in a warehouse district of North Miami is one of the world's most incredible collections of automobiles, motorcycles and fantasy vehicles.

The Dezer Collection has Michael Keaton's Batmobile. The bright green Jaguar -- complete with missiles -- used by Halle Berry in "Die Another Day." A 37-foot-long pink Mercedes convertible seen on "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous," with a heart-shaped hot tub in the rear.

A Russian T-55 tank driven by Pierce Brosnan in "Goldeneye." And an Aston Martin used in "Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.," complete with ramming bumpers, rotating license plates, machine gun and tire-slashers.

Here, you can see Diana Rigg's Lotus from "The Avengers." A pink Jeep from "Burn Notice." The Gran Torino from the "Starsky & Hutch" movie. Lindsay Lohan's Love Bug from "Herbie Fully Loaded." Tom Selleck's Ferrari from "Magnum, P.I." The motorcycle from "Lethal Weapon." And a Bamby Peel, the world's smallest drivable car.

The collection is the brainchild of Michael Dezer, an Israeli-American with a passion for classic wheels. Its value has been estimated at $80 million, and many experts have called it the largest privately held car collection in the world.

Admission to one of the two buildings is $25 for adults, $10 for children. Admission to both buildings is $40 for adults, $15 for children.

The Old Spanish Monastery: The 12th century in Miami

The Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux was completed in Spain in 1144 and occupied by monks for 700 years. It was eventually sold and turned into a stable.

In 1925, newspaper magnate Randolph Hearst fell in love with the old monastery and purchased it. The building was dismantled, stone by stone. Each stone was then numbered, packed in hay and shipped to the United States. But because of a hoof-and-mouth outbreak in Spain, the Department of Agriculture ordered that the boxes be broken open and all the hay burned. But Hearst's workmen, unfortunately, failed to put the stones back in the right boxes.

Hearst ran into financial trouble and was forced to sell the boxes. So they sat in a New York warehouse for 26 years until two Miami businessmen bought the boxes and shipped them here. It took 19 months to reassemble the monastery.

Today, it's a green oasis of tranquility and Medieval architecture.

St. Bernard de Clairvaux is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Regular admission is $8.

The funkiest graveyard in America

The Key West Cemetery is a "city" of 70,000 inhabitants -- twice as many as the population above ground -- and some of the funniest epitaphs in America.

For example: The one etched by a woman scorned on the grave of her scoundrel -- "At least I know where he's sleeping tonight." On the grave of B.P. "Pearl" Roberts, apparently the town's resident hypochondriac, "I told you I was sick!"

Then there's the eternal resting place of "Sloppy Joe" Russell, who owned the Key West bar of the same name, Ernest Hemingway's favorite haunt when he lived here in the 1930s. Also buried here is Hemingway's chief source of material for "To Have and Have Not," a Prohibition-era bootlegger named Willard Antonio Gomez.

Then there's Gloria Russell's grave, which simply says, "I'm just resting my eyes."

Guided tours are offered twice a week through the Historic Florida Keys Foundation. Call or e-mail for reservations.

Japan in Delray Beach

In 1905, enterprising Japanese immigrant Joseph Sakei dreamed of creating a Japanese agricultural community in Delray Beach.

He advertised in Japan for workers -- and for women to come and marry them. As the colony grew, it was named "Yamato," in honor of a region in Japan. Life was hard, though, with stifling heat, disease, mosquitoes and crop blights. And most of the settlers returned to Japan.

But a man named George Morikami built a good life here for his family. Morikami bequeathed his land to Palm Beach County upon his death, asking that the county create a museum and park about Japanese culture. Today it's one of South Florida's true cultural treasures.

There are 200 acres filled with red wooden footbridges crossing ponds stocked with koi, sculpted bonsai plants, rock gardens, winding paths through the woods and small waterfalls. There's a Japanese villa, with blue-roofed rooms surrounding a central courtyard, filled with tea settings, ancient swords and ceremonial items.
