Rain in Florida
Yesterday we went to the city as we had some time in the morning before Otto went to work and also because we needed to start the process of our marrige. (I will write about it in another post a bit later. :) )
The weather was very nice and by the time we got into the restaurant where Otto works part-time, I was sweating heavily. I couldn't wait to get inside a building which has air-condition.
I finally met Cathy (Otto's boss and the owner of the restaurant.) I haven't met her since 2010 so you can imagine how happy we were to catch up a bit at last. I say 'a bit' as she is always very, (literally) very busy. She is a really nice, warm-hearted person who treats Otto as her own son. I am really thankful for her for that.
Before I go into details with Thai food (food again...), I rather post some pictures about the rain here. I hope that the pictures can report the weather which turns rainy in 5 seconds.
Otto started to work at 11 am so I decided to look around in Coral Gables where the restaurant is until they close at 3pm. It was sunny with a couple of light clouds when I entered Ross's (department store). When I came out of the store this was the view I had:
...it started raining crazily. I had to stop under a huge umbrella that a store had on the front otherwise I would get soaked to skin.
The rain was over in 5 minutes, the sky cleared and we had this view again:

I was standing at the crosswalk for a minute or so, the light turned green, I crossed the street and...

What they say here is that: 'If you don't like the weather (in Florida), wait another minute...

Our Day in Some Pictures
That's how our day went in some pictures:
Me.
My brunch.
Otto's treat.
I know Momo Mikawa and Silvi Farkas like these :)
Hungary is everywhere!
It would be a nice place to live here.
Driving around.
I am in love with palm trees.

Looking around
I woke up very early today, I think I still need some time to adjust.
We decided to drive to the mall where we can get my engagement ring resized as it is still a bit big. They told me that in case my finger gets puffy by time, it can be sized again. What a relief. We tried to do this in Hungary last year but they told me that they cannot guarantee that the diamonds will stay in after resizing...so I didn't want to take the risk. Now it is going to be perfect in 2 weeks. :)
After looking around in Dolphin Mall where I got dizzy in half an hour by staring at the variety of products they have...and where I could get lost easily without Otto, we decided to have a quick lunch as he needed to go to work in the afternoon.
The lunch was not Cuban, but I have to try the American way too, right? :)
PS: we will go and start running next week. :)

Waiting for the chicken wings...
Selection of some American stuff. Yeah, I might get fat...
If you want to spice up your life.
Honestly, I can't complain.

Cuban Breakfast
A nice morning always involves an awesome breakfast.
We decided to visit a Cuban bakery just around the corner. I am fond of Cuban food so the variety amazed me as always.
These are called pastelitos in Spanish. The sweet ones are made of thin pasta and have different types of filings such as guyava, cheese, apple, mango..etc. The salty ones are made of potato and cassava (yuca).
You can find more about cassava (yuca) here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava
And now I am laying in the bed with a full stomach. I can't even move.... :)
Good morning!

My New Friend
Let me introduce you my new lovely friend.
His name is Coco, he is 3 years old and a real cutie. He is Otto's Mom's dog.
At first, he was not open towards me ( I guess he was jealous of me as he might be in love with Otto too...) but after a day or so, he became a sweet, little boy.
The funniest thing about him for me so far is that he can cover himself with a blanket so you can't even see him in his cage.
The other hilarious fact is that he never stops. The pictures you see here were taken in hours as I always had to wait for the best moment (second...) to take a proper picture of him.
So here he comes and sends lots of love to everyone from my side!

Ready to play???
A bit sleepy before the rain comes.
'Hey Agi, I'm watching tv with you, alright?'
The tv is boring. Your clothes interest me more...
