MIAMI, FL

It's kinda funny that my blog seems to have turned to a traveling blog. Hawaii last time and now Miami. I'm so sorry guys there hasn't been anything between those two blogs. There hasn't happened anything special to write... except.. TRACK (yleisurheilu in Finnish). We have had practices now two weeks, and I have enjoyed so far. I'm doing the long distances 1 mile (1600 meters) and 2 miles (3000 meters). I'm not so fast in sprint and I ran the whole las summer, so I got a pretty good stamina. Our practices are always different. At the start everybody did 2 mile-run, sit-ups etc, and then technic practice. Right now everybody are doing their own thing depending on what you are doing for track. So, I'm running, running and running in practices and I like it.

Oh man, I know you don't give a s*it about track. Everybody started to read this because you saw the word "Miami". So here you go guys!

So we stayed one week in Miami with Leo's (the French exchange-student in my host family two years ago) family. They have lived almost one year now in Miami. Lucky.. Their house was really cool with a swimming pool and I felt I was like in a hotel or something. The only thing which took that imagination away was that I didn't have to use my credit card to sleep. In their family, there's Leo, his mom, bro and dad. One of his friends from France, Max, was also visiting him. I got along great with everybody, expect Kyle (just kidding).

We arrived to Miami in Sunday evening. Leo and his mom took us.. with a hummer btw.. to their house. We chilled and talked a while and then we ate supper. We were all so tired because of traveling and went straight to bed. So, nothing excited happened yet. But something "little" is coming so don't stop reading for God's sake.

On Monday we slept long. I went to a run and then chilled on the pool with my mom and Kyle. We took so much sun that we looked like Spanish people after few hours, or almost.. After that we went to a smaller town, just next to Miami and walked around. Here's the photo of that.


At the same night, Monday night. We went to MIAMI HEAT NBA BASKETBALL GAME. It was so awesome experience, even though Miami lost (if I had been on their bench they have won. We saw Lebron James, the best player right now in NBA. I don't have any words to describe the game. So here are photos fellows.






Tuesday. That's what I called a holiday! We went to a beach and just enjoyed our time there (5 hours) and we were ready to look like North African people. Swimming on the ocean was great! Even though my brother (like in that photo) came swimming too and started to fight with me. I love it even with bruises. It's so lovely to have a brother to fight with because I don't have any real one in Finland. After the beach it was time for beaches.. or not. We went to Miami beach and streets next to it, and had supper there with all the people (Leo's family and us). Miami beach and Miami was dark (because it was night) but the night life with gay bars and stuff.. oh my gosh! Super.



After Tuesday comes Wednesday. We spent the whole day in a ZOO in Miami. It was really interesting in my opinion. :)) I think I should have left my brother there with other monkeys. It was the only crappy-weather day, so it was good to spend with camels and my other friends. Here are some photographs from the Zoo.






On Thursday was finally time to bitches, I mean to Miami Beach! Here's the photo from there. We checked out the beach and went shopping. I really enjoyed to see Miami in a daylight. If you don't believe it's one of the coolest photos, check these photos out!



Alligators + Friday = Alligator Friday. We went to a Alligator place. The tiny river and a boat trip among it and we saw few wild alligators. And as you can see they didn't eat me even though Finnish meat is delicious.



On Saturday, we went to a trip by our rental car to Miami Keys and Key West. Those are all famoues places and I don't anymore wonder why! It was really beautiful. While we stopped (stayed 49898 hours) my mom and brother took new tattoos. It was cool to watch when they made those. I, myself, didn't take any. Even though, I seriously though about taking one: Finnish lion and American eagle together with initials of all my family members here and in Finland. But I p*ssy and didn't want to do that in the end. It's so life time lasting thing that you don't make those kind of decisions in one week or so.


Sunday. We left back to cold Iowa and our vacation was over. That was my "own vacation" from school and missed one week at school, oh yeah! Right now I'm feeling greater than after a long time. I love track and everything's just so nice. I have, for change, great plans for this weekend. :) Night Storm-dance party and hanging out with friends.

'til next time
