Now we are settled here and already enjoying the Florida sunshine! Things are really quiet and relaxing here. We are staying in a golf community called Cross Creek. It has houses like this one in the photo, with a golf course, a community swimming pool and club house - with a bigger swimming pool, common area and restaurant. This has been our home since we arrived!
Our neighbour's car!
Gabi (and Julia) going for a walk in the neighbourhood.
I love the birds down here! They are just cruising around!
These are a couple of residents here. They are mostly retired seniors who have decided to enjoy the rest of their lives. You must be 55 plus to buy a house in these communities.
Another beautiful bird doing his daily morning gracious walk for us.
It looks like it has its lunch already.
You definitely need a car here. Everything is spread out and the stores and other services are all in malls around big highways. Not my favourite set up, but that's the way it is down here. If you want to go for a walk, it has to be in your community. And if you need some milk, you might have to travel in your car for about 10 minutes to find a simple grocery store.
Our backyard.
Our place is the one in the middle, beside the beautiful and good smelling orange tree.
God bless America!
Orange trees. These flowers have the nicest smell!
Apparently there is at least one alligator in every body of water in Florida. I didn't believe it at first, but every person I spoke with says it's true. So far I was only able to find this one... a fake one.
Another beautiful picture of my favourite orange tree!
A nice family dinner: auntie Cathy, Marggie, John, me and Mark behind the camera lens.
We had an amazing time at the pool, yesterday (Monday)! The weather was just perfect and the water was delicious!
Training Julia to enjoy the water!
I think she likes it!
The girls ended their day at an Outlet shopping mall called Miramar. The place is huge and the deals are even bigger. Most of the stores were 70% off. Too bad I am a student! If you are around here I totally recommend a day of shopping here. It's worth it!
Look at Marggie and auntie Cathy! They are ready to go!
