miami report

so far, so good!

we just got back from a cool neighborhood grocery store we found that is a lot like a central market replete with annie's mac n' cheese and competitive pricing to the big chain around here. the guy inside also told us that if we couldn't find something we wanted, just to let them know and they'd get it in for us. i loved it!

we also found a little running path in a nearby park that is adjacent to the bay. i hadn't run in a few weeks, so i ended up doing some sort of walking/running thing that i hope counted for exercise. but it will be a cute little spot for the summer until russ starts school and we get access to the campus gym facilities.

it is hot here, but not any hotter than what we're used to in texas. it's been really breezy too with lots of sunshine of course. we got to go snorkeling last weekend with russell's parents before they left and it was so beautiful. we saw all kinds of tropical fish and a coral reef.

it's been fun to wash all our dishes by hand after every meal and to not have a tv. we've played a lot of guitar, done online stuff and gone exploring in miami.

apparently the basketball team here is in the NBA finals, so the sports fans are out en masse and maybe russ and i will go watch the game at a pub or something. chances are, we won't know when it's on and we'll miss it, but i'll let you know what happens.

come visit soon!
