We´ve been busy....

We´ve been having some very busy days. Our flight to Miami went well, though it was long as we flew via Lisbon- a four-hour layover there, that we spent in the VIP lounge, thanks to Angel´s Priority Pass.  The girls had a great time there- not so sure about the other people!
We finally arrived at our new home in West Palm Beach around midnight and we all went straight to bed.  The next morning we were happy too see that the house was very cozy and had a great pool, overlooking a lake, full of birds and other wildlife.  Every morning we find frogs and iguanas in the porch and even in the pool! But it´s great to be able to take a dip whenever we want.  The weather has been very tropical, hot and humid and prone to thunderstorms.  But we have had enough sunny hours to enjoy the outdoors.

We are busy exploring all the shops nearby, lots of malls and Targets, etc.  We found a gorgeous mall, The Gardens of Palm Beach, full of Gucci, Prada, Tiffany´s etc.  Fun to walk through but personally I prefer to buy in Target!

Our hours are still a bit mixed up- the girls having been waking up at 4 am, so by 10 am we are ready for lunch!  Yesterday we all went to mass (St. Ignatius Church- I guess in honor of us Basques) at 8:45 am! But slowly, we are getting into the swing of things. 

Today is the 4th of July, and we all went to the beach, about 10 min. away.  We arrived by about 9:30 and got home by 12:30- just when it began to pour!  We had a great time, though Maria didn´t want to get sand on her feet- rather difficult!

Hopefully the storm will pass for us to have a typical July 4th barbeque on the porch this evening.  We hope to join our new neighbors on the lake shore to watch fireworks tonight- if we manage to stay up past 9pm!

Enjoy the pics that Icho has posted.
