Happy Friday!

Time is just flyin’ on by here!  I am really trying to soak up my time in the U.S., with my family and everything.  It’s easy to keep thinking about “when I go back to Spain….”, etc., but I keep reminding myself to just be. here. now.  (Happy, Dad???)  Present or not, the time is flying thanks to all of the fun things I’ve been doing!  We spent last week at the beach (post coming soon…) and while I was there I got to see Andrew for coffee and then last night, I saw Christine and Bobby!!  (I went to West Chester with them and we were best friends…and still are).  Everytime I see them, it’s like no time has passed at all.  Lucky for me, Christine is going to come visit in Spain this year 😉  And I can’t wait!  To continue with the friends theme here, I spent the afternoon at the pool today and saw an old friend from high school and a couple old co-worker/ friends from last year.  I love seeing everyone, but I am also very glad I’m going back to Spain haha.

Anyway, here is some of what I have been doing here:

Ventnor Beach

Longport day trip with Pops

Here he is stealing (dead) flowers from the big, fancy lawns

Bike cops may or may not have shown up.

Then we went to the Ocean City boardwalk!

We saw a pizza-eating contest where you have an hour (or less) to finish this entire pizza.  We calculated that this pizza was the size of about 20 slices of “normal” pizza, give or take (probably give).How many could you eat?  This guy is blog famous!!!  I think I could eat 10-12 slices before it would come back up.

We had our own pizza and then stopped for ice cream from KOHR BROS.  I just wanted the pretty ice cream with colorful sprinkles.It’s prettier than it tastes.

I ran 6+ miles and probably was close to a heat stroke.

One night we had drinks on the bay. 

And another night we had hoagies and steak sandwiches from Whitehouse Hoagies.  Seriously the BEST sandwiches in the United States.

I went to the farmers market with mom for fruits and vegetables.

And then to Halo Farms for fresh ice cream and milk.

Today I went to the pool to maintain my tan and do some reading, but it started pouring rain.  Womppppp.

And this breakfast is just too pretty NOT to share.  

My mom was eating a similar breakfast and I asked her: “don’t you just want to take a picture of it?  it looks so nice!”.  She said: “no”.

Have a happy weekend!
