From bogus@does.not.exist.com Mon Aug 2 21:39:36 2004 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Mon Aug 2 21:39:37 2004 Subject: No subject Message-ID: can walk 20 minutes and go to the movies (there is a beautiful Muvico Palace 20 up the street) and that's about it. Even though the place is very safe, nobody walks because it's just too far. I don't know about the fridge in the dorms but I am sure they have air conditioning. You can't be in South Florida without AC. Now I have an advice for all of you who never experienced Florida in the summer : bring a sweater. I'm not kinding. Some places pump up the AC so low, it's freezing. And then you get out of the store (or the classroom) and you see how well we master the science of Hot and Cold here :) One of the best things to do here when it's hot is go to the beach. The ocean is very calm, especially in the morning. Not a lot of noise, not a lot of people. The water is so warm it's like taking a giant bath. I highly recommend it.

As soon as you pass the DELRAY TENNIS CENTER, you will begin to enter Downtown Delray. Turn left on NE 2nd Avenue, you'll be entering Pineapple Grove, go north one block. You can't miss HUGH JORGAN's, located in the historic Delray Beach landmark "LOVE's DRUGS" building. About 15 minutes drive. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/featuredemail
