july+23-29

Sunday night I got extremely nauseous and couldn't go into work Monday. Instead I laid around watching movies and drinking ginger ale. It was horrible because I needed to get packing done. Luckily, it was a one day thing and by Tuesday I was feeling much better. I packed all day. I get flustered whenever I have to pack so I took a lot of breaks. My mom took us to a greek place for dinner so I could finally get my favorite spanikopita. Of course we had to have frozen yogurt after. Wednesday I just hung around the house waiting for my trip on thursday morning.

Thursday my sister, lili, and I left early to go to Florida to visit my grandfather. He lives in Clearwater which has beautiful beaches. I read Catcher in the Rye on the trip. I really enjoyed the book and the style of writing in it. It was interesting since we also have a boarding school experience. By the time we got in it was late and we didnt feel like doing too much. My grandpa made fresh pesto for us. I swear you haven't had pesto until you have had the Conforti family pesto.

The next day my sister and I went to get our nails done and go shopping. Total girls day. We went out for dinner and then later to Pier 60 on the beach. The pier is very fun to go to and see everyones jewelry. The next day we took it easy and went to the beach. I love the beach but I will never be able to embrace the sand. I also don't know how to swim which makes being at the beach get boring. I can only sit and tan and read for so long especially with my family. We always spend at least 6 hours at the beach.

Sunday Aziz came up for the day. His cousin drove him five hours from Miami. It was so nice to see a friend from the winch. We walked around the beach and ate seafood. My sister was too shy to come at the beginning so later she had my grandpa bring her to hang out with us. Unfortunately he had to leave that night because his cousin had college business to take care of Monday morning.
