Lazy Saturday

Today, we had a fairly lazy day back in St. Petersburg. Dad went out sailing with Mike and Jeanette and took the Lincoln with them, so Mum and I had the SL560 convertible to cruise around town in! Unfortunately, it is still really hazy from the bush fires, not a great day for the top down - but we still had fun running some errands.

We found a great shop here called Stein Mart - it's like Myer, except it all the excess stock from department stores that is being sold off at discounted prices. I bought myself a great new Diane Von Furstenburg carry on. I had planned on buying another piece of luggage in New York at the end of the trip to bring all my stuff home, but given it was $300 reduced to $65 I couldn't pass it by!

Classic American Moment #5: There is an Aveda salon just a few block from our apartment, and when we were out yesterday we saw they had a tent set up outside their shop. We thought they might be doing some sort of promotion, until we drove past and realised that they had set up drive-thru gift certificates on the curb as it is Mothers Day here tomorrow! I couldn't believe how lazy that is! So, you don't even have to get out of your car to pick up a gift certificate from Aveda for Mothers Day!

We spent the night organising for Mum and Dad to come down to New York in a few weeks. Here is a photo of St. Petersburg at night:
