Hello everyone!  I'm here in sunny Florida.  The weather is beautiful, not too hot, not too humic, in fact I happen to think that it's paradise.  It was a freakin' long flight (a total of nearly eight hours of traveling) and then, in my lapse of judgment (or maybe I was just so tired I just didn't care) I went to a frat party.  I know, me, at a frat party.  Why is it that when I'm in a room of hot guys I end up dancing with the unattractive, overweight one?  I'll spare you the details, but it wasn't exactly the most pleasant of experiences.  I mean, he was nice and all, but the whole point of going to a frat party is 1) to get wasted (and I was so tired that I didn't need to drink to appear drunk) and 2) to hook up with some hottie.  Ah well, there will be other parties this week so hopefully they won't be all as lame (yes, I am describing a frat party as lame). 

Today I went to the Everglades (and there's video that I'll post of me squeeing over aligators, of all things).  I took lots of photos, which I'll post on my deviantArt account.  I took some lovely shots of aligators and various birds.  Don't worry, I'll ID them so you're not scratching your head going, "What the hell is that thing?!"  Tomorrow is for, well, I'm not quite sure what.  I go to Key West on Tuesday (we're probably leaving that morning) and we come back on Wednesday (Key West is about a two and a half to three hour drive from here).  Thursday and Friday are pretty open to whatever (the beach!  I wanna go to the beach!), but I do know that I'm supposed to be seeing my friend Anibal at some point.  Maybe I should send him another email...meh, I'll get it figured out.

Anyway, life is good.  I have a head cold which hopefully I'll kick by the middle of the week.  I'll take lots of pictures, so don't worry, you all can see my crazy adventures (to some degree).  Hope evervyone else is having fun, too!
