alligators and hurricanes

Sunday, September 14th, 2008



















Well, I have been in Florida for almost 6 weeks now and here is what I have to report . . .

  1. I have yet to see an alligator.  Are they just a myth?
  2. I have seen many hurricanes. They are definitely not a myth.
  3. SEC fans are the craziest (or some might say dedicated) fans I have ever met.
  4. It is always humid.
  5. I never knew there could be so many lizards.
  6. palm trees are. . . . nice
  7. I love being 5 minutes from the nearest Chick-Fil-A!!!
  8. Waffle Houses are still awesome!!  (But people down here hate them)
  9. Dirt roads are really sand roads.
  10. People drive better here than in Michigan.
  11. Floridians have no concept of what cold weather is really like.  ; )
  12. What the heck are boiled peanuts!  Torture, that is what they are!
  13. The sweet tea flows like honey and I love it.
  14. Most Floridians order unsweet tea.  huh?
  15. Grits are awesome
  16. Still have not seen an alligator
  17. Rain and sun really do go hand in hand down here.
  18. Sunsets are still awesome!!
  19. You can always find amazing people no matter where you go.
  20. I think I am going to love the winters!

Till next time,
