• Fighting off the seagulls

  So I left Indianapolis and there is a 4 point something earthquake. Hmm…coincidence? (grin)

  A rather perfect flight schedule: I flew into Miami around 10am, dropped off my heavy (second) backpack, and got a bus to the beach. Miami has made some updates since the last time I was here: instead of having to take 2 buses, a transfer, and an hour and a half, they have an express shuttle that takes 35 minutes.

  So before 11am, I went from rainy snow (earthquake) Indy to sunny beach Miami. I filled my belly with cheese and bakery fresh bread and fell asleep in the sand. While there are people swimming, it isn’t warm enough for me yet–I still have on my sweater. And lots of sand.

  Someone decided to feed the seagulls, and now I have to fight them off.

  I pretty much love my life.

  My plane flies out of Miami at 9pm, and I wake up tomorrow morning in Brazil. Yesssss. Now for a couple more hours of sunshine, blue waves, and the Miami Beach Library…

  Oh! Happy news! My cell phone doesn’t work the moment I leave the US, but my new skype number does. It is a 317 number, so for you, it is just like calling my cell or home phone–but it is connected to my computer, so I can receive those calls(but not texts) in Brazil (or anywhere else, for that matter).

  The downfall is I have to be where internet is to connect to my end of skype. You can call me at anytime and leave a message, and then when I am able, I can call you back. My apartment has really nice internet, but I will probably only be at my apartment weekday evenings–and not until summer vacation is over (summer vacation in Brazil is the first couple of weeks of January). Once I get everything situated, I hope to have lots of calls:). Here is my number: 317-644-6772

  Happy New Year!
