Mid morning, and he could already tell it was going to be obscenely muggy. Still, of all the places he could be spending his day, the Kampong wasn't so bad. It wasn't the largest or most impressive of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, but it was a little oasis of calm and beauty tucked away on the Southern edge of metropolitan Miami that most of the locals didn't even know existed.
Perhaps he'd take a trip to the Hawaiian islands one of these days to go visit the others. For now, Loren was content to wander through the landlocked botanical garden on an independent tour of his own.
He'd purposefully picked a day when one of the guided tours weren't making their rounds through the Kampong, so the campus was fairly empty. So much the better; Loren was armed with a backpack of botanical books, sunscreen, and plenty of water. One of these books was perpetually in hand, though at the moment, he was studying one particularly fantastic specimen- a commanding 20 foot tall ylang-ylang tree just east of the Fairchild-Sweeny House.
