Betty from nowhere: Life

Showing posts with label Life. Show all posts

This is the third year I'm spending the holiday season with my family in Miami, Florida. On the 24th we went to one of my cousins' house and we had typical Cuban food: lechón asado (roast suckling pig), black beans, rice, Cuban bread, and yucca. Although it's Winter here in Miami, we always eat outside because the temperature hardly ever drops below 68°F / 20°C. Also, since I have a huge family, our dinner is more like buffet-style, we have to serve ourselves and carry our own plates. We exchanged gifts on the 25th and had another dinner at my other cousins' house (she made lasagna this year!). After that, we sat outside and all my cousins played different instruments and sang happy songs.

Hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday season! :)

Florida Life Theme Park USA

Hello!

I wanted to post some pictures two weeks ago when I was still in Florida. I went with my cousins to Islands of Adventure, one of Universal's themed parks in Orlando and it was GREAT! I was mostly excited to see the part of the park where Hogsmeade and Hogwarts was. It felt like being a kid/teenager again! After midday, the day got cloudy (it was still around 95ºF/35ºC) so everything seemed very magical, haha. I wish they also had this in California!

We had butterbeer ;)

California Friends Life Long Beach

The birthday girl

I'm back from my trip to Florida! This Wednesday was one of my roommate's birthday so we all went to Yard House, a really nice restaurant here in Long Beach. We sat outside on the patio, which had a really nice overlook of the Long Beach harbor. Ana seemed really happy and we all had a great time with her and with each other! We had some candles on our table and they became our favorite toy throughout the dinner, haha :)

Family Florida Life Miami Summer USA

This week I'm in Hallandale Beach, Florida. It has been a busy week with my parents, family and friends events, birthday parties, Cuban and Russian food, beach, rain, and really hot and humid weather. It's hard to believe that Portugal is just on the other side of the ocean...!
