We swing by Domino Park, where Miami’s elders are hanging out, before checking in on a group of Inter Miami fans who believe that success is close - if they fire Phil Neville.We take the tri-rail up to Delray Beach to visit the Pillow Fight Championship and meet the fighters who have transitioned from MMA, jiu-jitsu and bare-knuckle fighting in order to swing a pillow.Finally, it’s the Greyhound bus to Gainesville. The Gators are playing at the Swamp, where the fans are in a chaotic yet philosophical mood, and everyone is ready to belt out a bit of Tom Petty.Before all that, there’s part nine of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin tries to save himself from Ramon’s disastrous u-turn attempt.Follow Eoin…https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/https://x.com/EoinSheahanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@eoinsheahanEmail: [email protected]
