south beach: limited access...
well its around 80 degrees and quite nice down here in south beach! this will be a very short entry since there is limited access (im pirating another signal as i type this) and i need to meet up with damon on the beach before we move on to other plans for the evening.
the drive down was quite long but without incident. we drove from ann arbor all the way to tampa, FL on our first day, and then went to Ft Myer's (some of you got text messages rubbing that in) and ate on the beach and did some exploring. we also went to the tampa aquarium which was very cool (many pics of that to come).
last night damon and i hung out on the main stretch here on south beach which was an amazing social gathering of people at the many shops, restaurants and clubs. i wonder if these people are on perpetual vacation since it was a monday night, yet the south beach strip was really busy!
tomorrow we'll be doing some snorkeling on the coral reefs which should be fun for us fish people. i think we are also making our way down to key west. i'll update when i can; we've taken a lot of pics (including pictures of us at all the major football stadiums -most recently the orange bowl- we have come across on our trip). i hope you are all doing well, until next time... <:><

"now let me get this straight..."
i was talking to rachel, because obviously i was that bored...and she informed me that she too got the same text msg you sent me. then i start reading your blog, and find out many people got the same text msg. and here i thought that i was just special enough, when i really just fell victim to a very impersonal/universal text msg. GOSH.
i hope ur having a good trip!
ps- i think the locals over there are in some way like the ypsi-tuckians...we go out on monday too! oh, and the owner from theo's remembered u. i talked to him last night. quite random.
If you go to Key West, check out Sloppy Joe's Bar--the prefered bar of Ernest Hemingway. It's right on Duval Street, has live music (even during the day) and is a great example of the laid back atmosphere of Key West. Or there's always The Boar's Head....or any of the other hundreds of bars there :)
Enjoy South Beach--there's a great Cuban restaurant right on the strip with GREAT food and amazing live music.
Can't wait for the pics!
