Pictures From Vacation and BITE!!!!

I thought it was about time to change the look of my diary because it just needed a little boost.  Today I actually ended up leaving work early because last night my cat bit me.  I woke up this morning with a swollen hand and what looked like an infection.  My cat freaked out last night…I think she saw a ghost and was hissing and screaming at my wall while  I was holding her.  She actually climbed up my arm to the back of my neck.  I was a little shocked and was just trying to stabilize her and then she screamed (or meowed?? angrily again and bit my hand.  I went to the doctor and he gave me an antibiotic to take for 10 days. 

I am finally going to post some pictures of my trip. 

First will the debut my little niece Amalia.  She’s the little cutest baby I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to see her again at Thanksgiving.  I might have to steal her and keep her forever!!!  So other than some pictures of Amalia, I only really have pictures of my #1 item that I’ve checked off my bucket list–parasailing.

From left to right is my mom in the white and blue, Emilio (my cousin’s husband), Eleni my cousin and the girl on the right is their friend.  We were at the Standard Hotel having happy hour.  You gotta love happy hour in Miami Beach!!

Introducing the cutest baby in the world…….Miss Amalia!!!!  I absolutely love her dimples!!  She’s 8 weeks here.

Eating on Lincoln Road.  This is a pedestrian road that has a lot of cafes, shops and restaurants.  In the morning time I would rent a bike and ride on this road.  It takes you all the way down to the beach.

Beach Day and Parasailling

On our way to the big boat.

I think I’ll stop here.  Pictures take a long time to post..especially with one real functioning hand.  I’m not sure if there is an easier way to post.  Next I’ll post some pictures of San Fransisco.  Some will be of my cousin and her roommate Ryan.  Hanging out at the Albany Bulb which used to be an industrial landfill, but then turned into a park.  Many homeless people have migrated and started living in the park.  They have taken and dug things out of the ground from the landfill and have made some art.  It was very cool.  Also Alcatraz and Fisherman’s Warf and the Golden Gate Bridge… 

I am working late tomorrow night so I think I’m going to go in for 10am.  I hope I don’t work past 10pm…we’ll see…
