Benvenido a Miami!

While en route to Medellin, Colombia, I found myself back in Miami, Florida. The sudden detour is a long story of course. I am thriving in the 100 degree heat and working on my tan! Staying at home with local friends has proven to be no less than a comical adventure. In my first night I learned how to catch unidentified flying objects (bugs) with one swipe of my hand, I learned how to pick a lock in under 10 seconds, and new tricks to evading those blood draining mosquitoes. Within 24 hours I made it to a few cool dance clubs, saw a live Brazilian band, watched a series of performances at a Haitain theater company, ate some amazing Cuban food, and helped catch a few mice and other critters! It's been an eventful first few hours to say the least.
