Hey guys! I'm back! I'm still a bit jetlagged and quite unused to being in the office today (booo!), also unused to the horrible grey weather we're having right now - but I'm back. We had the most amazing time in South Beach. I haven't been in the US for 25 years, when I was a child, so it was really nice to see (a very small part of it) as an adult. I loved everything - the people, the hotel, the beach, the weather, the food - everything! (I'd love to post some pics bit imageshack isn't available right now.)
The hotel my bf picked for us was wonderful, though very big, with two pools (one of them on the roof!) and situated right at the beach. I could spent ages at the pool on a comfy deck chair, reading magazines or books on my new Kindle. We went for long walks at the beach, went to the Keys (loved the Carabbean feel), and went shopping - of course! My angelic bf really has the patience of a saint - I had to browse through every Ulta and all the cosmetics counters in every store we visited, and he loved that it made me happy and bouncy. Of course I got a lot of brands difficult to get over here (Urban Decay, Too faced, China Glaze...), some MAC and - unplanned - a pair of black Michael Kors Mary-Jane patent leather high-heels with which I fell on love, some nice lacy stuff from Victoria's Secret (the bf loved those
) and a jumper from Abercrombie & Finch (also difficult to get over here). There was also a thing called 'Sleepless Night' where all kinds of performers performed open air on all sorts of venues throughout the city, and that was lots of fun, too. We listened to a Symphony Orchestra in the city square, and university students who did some Glee-like musical numbers. Loads of fun.
I wish there could be only vacations, no work-time... sigh. I REALLY didn't want to leave! But the bf and me already made plans to come back (NY, SF and South Beach again are high on the list). Now I'm back in the treadmill - very unsatisfied with work right now. I'm really happy that christmas is in six weeks, so that means some time away from work, and then there's only one month of my internship left. Really don't know what to do then - the only sure thing is that I'll return to Frankfurt and my bf. Long-distance relationships suck!
Astrid, I kept meaning to answer you for the whole time, but after my three days in Berlin I directly went on vacation. I would've loved to meet you to, but I saw your reply to late, and then it was all very hectic with no spare time at all. So sad! Next time, right? And whenever you come to FFM (you too, bis, and of course all other Ratonas!) give me a shout over Specktra and we'll meet!
