Greetings from Delray Beach, Florida!

I have been really lucky! I got to spend Easter vacation in Florida with Donna and her family.

Here is a photo of me on the Atlantic Beach! So far on my time away from Hamish, I have seen the Gulf of Aden / Indian Ocean, the North Sea, and now the Atlantic Ocean. Since Hamish lives by the sea too, I guess liking water must run in the family!

Here are some fun small facts about Florida:

  • Florida is the 27th state (out of 50) in the United States. It became a state on March 3rd, 1845.

  • In its history Florida has been settled by Native Americans, Spanish conquistadors, and the French!

  • It borders the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean

  • It is nicknamed "The Sunshine State" as it is located in a semi-tropic climate

  • There are about 18.5 million residents in the state

  • Delray Beach is close to Miami, the largest city in Florida and also a melting pot for the South American community as there are so many flights going through Miami
