i have a friend who is dating a Brazilian artist. i received an invite to her first two exhibits in America and debated whether to attend. i finally ran it by Jose and he agreed to go with me. the first exhibit was in Miami which is closer to me, but was on a week night which means i probably wouldn’t be able to make it. the other was in Jupiter on a Saturday. Jose got us a room at one of the properties the company he works for owns and just like that we were set for another fun and exciting weekend.

i thought the exhibit was great. i liked her work. this, her latest collection, was a combination of the human body in naked form and the alphabet. some of the letters were hard to make out, but one had to appreciate the amount of creativity required to develop each one. among my favorites were the letter E and L. i wish i had a photo to show… maybe in a future post. for now you can see what i’m talking about here.

after the exhibit, we went to a local pub with my friend, the artist and a few of their friends. Jose and i then headed for what seemed like mission impossible: finding a place to eat at midnight. we drove for a long time until we finally arrived at CityPlace in palm beach. i was able to find something healthy on the menu and we had a good time talking far away from the loud music, crowds of drunk frat boys and the girls who love them.

today, i went for a run. i enjoy running in unfamiliar strange places. i love the feeling of uncertainty that each stride brings. i don’t quite know how far i ran. i am still trying to adhere to the “just enjoy the run and forget the miles” mindset i developed when i started running again.

after lunch, we decided to go to Lake Okeechobee but didn’t know how to get there, so we took the Okeechobee exit off i95 and somehow – after much time and miles, we are here !! Jose has a verizon card so i can actually browse the internet in the boonies. unfortunately, the world hasn’t figured out how to make a laptop battery that doesn’t die.
