Running and Eating

So today I reverted to what I always do when I have no idea what I'm gonna do: go for a run. I set off about midday which was awesome/stupid as it was about 28C! I like running in the heat though and it was OK as long as I was on the move. As soon as I stopped I kinda overheated and drowned in my own sweat. At the end of Blaines street I took this of Palmetto Ave:


Apparently she is only about 15min from the center of Miami so it is pretty cool to be living in such a lush forested area. Even the main road that is close to her has awesome big trees that arch across the road. I noticed as well (of course I did) that the powerlines are all overhead but are heavily insulated, most of the trees have vines growing up them and many of the vines have started growing along the powerlines as well. That's one way to camouflage them!

The run was pretty good, I went down beside the marina and explored a few little side streets. There are heaps of wee lizards here and I got a pretty good shot of one little guy:


On the way home I got a little lost and apparently ended up in the ghetto. I didn't really fear for my life though but it did look a luttle but rough. I was running as well and I doubt anyone would wanna chase me in the heat anyway.

In the evening Blaine and Ben had some friends over for a BBQ. I had bought some super-hopped craft beer to drink called Ruination IPA (from "Stone"), and I was not disappointed. The fantastic hosts grilled some chicken, sausages and Blaine made some unnecessarily tasty baked bean dish thing. I know I am biased towards baked beans so these were amazing, I think they had some limes added or something and bacon on top. Blaine also made a key-lime pie for dessert. How good? (too good).
