Today was a good day to relax a bit. I went to South Beach to check out Lincoln Road, which is an outdoor shopping mall with many outdoor cafés. It was beautiful with palm trees, fountains, and many restaurants. The stores, unfortunately, were all very pricey (with the exception of a few souvenir shops and the 2 or 3 Starbucks. I didn't last too long outside in the intense heat and ended up coming back to Coral Gables (which is where my hotel is) and ran a few errands. I just finished dinner, and the rest of the night will involve: getting ready for my week, reading about Cuban music, transcribing Cuban music, and cleaning up the hotel room a bit. I'm also really looking forward to a piano lesson I have tomorrow with Michele Fragoso (who plays with the the band Conjunto Progreso that I heard the other night at MIA on Biscayne). I'm excited!
That's it for now...much more to come this week. Thanks again for reading!
