Date #8

Today we had a breakfast date, cashing in a Groupon for a place called Salsa Fiesta. The egg breakfast was okay, but this waffle…This waffle is gluten-free (and it comes with guava and agave!). Breakfast is romantic...

Date #7

This is a date we were planning for a while: the annual Mango Festival at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens.

 

We spent the morning sampling a variety of mangoes and mango products and sweating up a storm. One of the best things we've done for ourselves in Miami is purchase the membership at the garden. It keeps us feeling like we're can be a part of nature here in this urban sinkhole. This date was a beautiful and crowded one and our last opportunity to participate as we'll be leaving Miami next year, so also a unique one.

Date #6

Post-GRE lunch at 1909 Cafe. Who doesn't want a delicious celebration salad and sandwich? Now let's just hope there are sandwiches this good wherever I end up for grad school. <3

Date #5

After a long, hot day stuck inside, the Sun finally went behind the storm clouds in the west and we were able to go to the beach. It's ridiculous how little time we spend at the beach considering we're only a few blocks away. We floated around in the nearly 90 degree water (measured at 88 last Monday) and somehow managed to cool off. We talked about our plans for the future and the tom kha gai I was making for dinner. A date we should repeat more often.
