BBQ at Crandon - Part 2 of Sunday at the Park

So, after tennis this morning, we went to my friend's birthday/citizenship party/BBQ at Crandon and it was a blast. Being one of the few non-Spanish speaking people there but welcomed like I was one, it was a great cultural experience. As always, there was too much food and too many drinks and an impromptu game of volleyball with some dudes who had been drinking out in the sun for too long, but it was a fine ol' time until the bands of Fay came sweeping through to dump buckets on us. But by then it was time to vamos anyway. Here are some photos - check out the skyline pics from earlier in the day. Totally disappeared in the rain:

Tennis at Crandon Park - Part 1 of Sunday at the Park

This morning in the 90 degree heat, I went to play tennis at the Crandon Tennis Center for the first time and it was awesome! It's $3 to play per hour on the hard courts (they are purple and adorable) and are really REALLY nice courts. Plus it's fun to play where all of those "other" tennis players have played - if you've been to the Sony Ericsson you know who I am talking about). We made it out right before the clouds of doom from Tropical Storm Fay were coming ashore. Here are some photos:
