South Beach on a Friday Afternoon!

By far, the best part of being in Miami is the beach. We went down to South Beach on Friday after class and had a great time. I can't get over how warm the water is. It was winder and a little cooler than any other time I’ve been to the beach, which was okay. Someone thought to bring a volleyball so we played a few games. I played volleyball (poorly) in high school, but I haven’t played at all since. It was SO much fun! If I would have grown up around beach volleyball, I may have become a beach volleyball player (or attempted to become a beach volleyball player--I'm a klutz and not very athletic). The sand on South Beach is so soft; I just can’t get over it. It was so much fun to play with the soft sand between my toes and to dive into it. At one point, I looked up at the net and thought, "this is so strange, I'm playing volleyball on 13th and Ocean Ave." It is like something you see on ESPN!

We were out there late enough to see the sunset. Well actually, I was standing in the ocean (that feels like a bath) watching the sun set. It was like my own little piece of paradise. However, getting out of the water at dusk, was the first time I’ve felt cold since moving to Miami (there was a breeze and it was only 85 degrees out!). It is amazing how exhausting it is to lay on a beach for hours at a time. I’ll have some new pictures up as soon as my friend emails them to me. We got some great pictures of the sunset and ocean.
