Scenes from Florida
Greetings from Florida! I’m on my annual Florida vacation at my parents, spending a week relaxing down here before the semester starts next week. So far I’ve gone to the beach (on Saturday!) and went for a short trail run through one of the scrub sanctuaries near my parents’. Enjoy the photos! Trail run at Micco Scrub Sanctuary Whale skull at Barrier Island Sanctuary Storm clouds rolling in. Boardwalk through the dunes. Jungle-like foliage on a trail run.

Kayaking on the St. Sebastian River
I almost forgot to post about my first time kayaking while in Florida. The pictures were on my digital camera and I didn’t bring the cord with me on vacation–so I nearly forgot. The tour guide said that up to 60 manatees live in this part of the river in the winter–I really wanted to see some! So we got into our kayaks–there were five of us total. It was my sister’s first time paddling and it was my second. Last summer Chris and I took out a canoe on Thirteenth Lake in the Adirondacks and he sort of taught me how to do it…so at least it wasn’t completely…

My parents were walking nearby so that was good. I ran 2 miles out and then 2 miles back. It was a 9 mile loop that I had originally wanted to run, but I figured it’d be too lonely and kind of scary to run that whole thing alone… I did end…

Exploring Historic St. Augustine
Yesterday my parents and I drove to St. Augustine, about 2.5 hours up the coast of where I am. We came here once about 10 or so years ago but it was pouring rain so I’ve always wanted to go back and explore! St. Augustine is the oldest city in the country! It was pretty cool seeing the old streets and houses. But first things first, the San Sebastian Winery! First we sampled a bunch of wines. I think my favorite was a sweet white called Blanc Du Bois Reserve. I also really loved the Rose and the Vinter’s Red and the Vinter’s White. Most were sweet, which is my…
