Hi, Katy

We've just moved into our new apartment in Florida! I've just finished organizing my books and DVDs, but I haven't put any posters or photos on my walls yet. I've already met our new neighbors. They are from Bolivia, but they've lived in Florida for five years. The weather has been really hot, but I haven't been to the beach yet. I've already gone downtown and the stores are great.

I miss everybody in Baltimore. I hope you can all come and visit me soon!
