One of these days I will actually have my camera on me when I want it! I've taken to walking along the water around 8 at night and watching the sunset. There is a walking strip that has the best view of the horizon. It's a little different from what I'm used to with the sky scrapers, but it's beautiful all the same. Tonight's sky wasn't too colorful, but the sun was a bright glowing red. Just stunning. I sat on the bridge until it set to take it in.
I also experienced my first Florida storm. I compared it to natures very own disco. The lightning was so frequent and lit up the whole sky like a strobe light and the thunder was the booming bassline :]
I live right next to the Tampa Convention Center so I see many oddly themed groups of people around the area for different conventions. This includes old women with matching outfits and as of late, anime characters along with the main character from V for Vendetta. I looked up the event to see what it was for and apparently it's Florida's largest anime convention this weekend. Here's the website:

I found a new favorite restaurant here. It is called La Creperia Cafe located in YBor. Although the decor isn't very French, the crêpes are amazing! They have both sweet and savory crêpes and both are just wonderful. My favorite is called La French Rivera with chicken, cheese and artichoke hearts. They also have Orangina which is the carbonated orange juice drink that I loved in France so much! I felt like I took a little trip back to France for some cuisine :] Here's their website:

Other than that I've been playing my ukulele and enjoying participating in the free classes at the gym, my favorite being zumba!
That's all for now folks!
