f.l.o.r.i.d.a.

finally, a connection to the world wide web. i've been in florida since july 27. the experience has been great so far. the place is fantastic and the people are very nice. i guess people here have a way of eyeing a new kid in town, that way, they immediately offer their help without one asking for it.

there was this one instance where i didn't have enough coins left in my purse to make a phone call and a young lady gladly offered me her cellphone. she saved me. strangers would take their time out to help you figure out how to use the machine in purchasing train tickets. a gentleman at the frontdesk will offer you a domino's pizza. a man will stop to say a compliment or two to you. they would smile and greet you.

however, bouts of homesickness do hit me... good thing is that i have family and friends here. also, i made new friends. most of them are from brazil and they are very nice people. i can't wait to learn portuguese and apply what i have learned in spanish.

on a side note, a came here via san francisco...and the city really wowed me!

pictures to come soon =)
