Guest photos

Dear friends,

I just wanted to let you know that my roommate, the ragin' cajun, spent Valentine's Day on Key Biscayne. It was a great date idea (not that I coached him at all, you know I would never do that.) He pulled off a unique day by making a picnic lunch and chillin' on the beach. And he took some photos.

Why do I tell you this? Afterall, you guys don't even know the ragin' cajun. Well. I like to share. And I thought of you. So, this is for you, my friends who give me hell during hurricane season:









So tell me, how's your winter? It's 70 degrees at night, and 80 during the day.

Loves ya,

Christina

p.s. I'm mad his camera takes better pics than mine at night.

The Biltmore

One of the best places to escape within Coral Gables without having to go too far is the Biltmore. You feel like you're on vacation and it's only minutes away from everything. The pool makes you wish you had your bathing suit and the food is fantastic. Definitely a great place to take visitors or to treat yourself for a nice peaceful lunch on the patio:

Scenes from South Miami

Anyone who lives around South Miami knows that the area around Sunset and US1, near the hospital has been a hassle because of the construction for the last year or so. Well now they are finished, and while it's annoying that you can't turn left because of the median, the area is really pretty now. Especially as they have the lights up for the holidays:


Call me cheesy, but I think that lights in palm trees are really cute, when done right. It also reminds me of my time in Charleston, SC, because they do the same thing for the palmettos.

South Miami also has a weird random statue, swimming through flowers:
