So, I used the day to study for my GRE test and long-term plan for my gifted class.
I met a good friend at Jamba Juice for a nice work-day break. Alicia's working at a school in Little Haiti as an administrative assistant. We just hung out and chatted about life, family, Miami, work...
I am really enjoying living in Miami. It was such a beautiful day today! A nice breeze, afternoon rain, warm evening. This city has such an interesting vibe to it. Driving in Miami, you can pass though Cuban, Haitian, Brazilian, celebrity, European, Jewish, African-American, Bahamian, hipster, and Peruvian neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, shops... I love the diversity and the unique feelings of each community. I think it is one of my favorite aspects of this city.
I find all of the juxtopositions in Miami fascinating. You can be in a million $$ neighborhood, cross water, and enter a housing-project. I have really enjoyed being exposed to a new city and a new group of people.
The more I'm in Miami, the more comfortable I get. And, the more comfortable I get, the more I realize just how interconnected this city is. While driving today, I found lots of "shortcuts." Now, I'm sure these aren't shortcuts to people who know Miami, but for me, I loved seeing just how close these seemingly different neighborhoods are!
Just getting to know my city!
