Frankie Says Relax

Amazingly, it has been a pretty relaxing weekend. My dad, myself, and my nephew drove to his (my nephew's) home and we spent a couple of days just relaxing. The first thing I had forgotten is that Miami is nothing like the rest of the United States. Hell, Miami is nothing like the rest of Florida. So, after driving about three hours to the west coast (my brother lives around the Fort Myers area), there was less spanish and more White people (not meant to sound like a bad thing). Remember, I just moved from London and I loved it there LOL

Anyways, the other thing about not living in a crowded "big" city like Miami is that there is space to live. Sure, you're stuck driving further to get to things like the supermarket or ginormous retail stores, but still land to live is not to be sniffed at. Visiting my brother's house is like seeing the kind of place I would love to live in, except after about one week outside of civilization and I would drive myself nutters.

But a weekend was just about the right amount of time. It was great to see my family again, especially after the last two years. And I got a chance to swim in the pool, see my brother and my dad go fishing, and just chill near the coast. Talk about the perfect way to spend a relaxed weekend.
