Fair-weathered, Beautiful Ohio

We're in Cincinnati, Ohio with Sarah's family and it is breathtakingly beautiful here.

Actually we're in the Northern outskirts of the city - among rolling ridiculously green hills, green forests, an abundance of kritters to be seen everywhere and warm, sunny Northern Summer's weather. People here speak English (unlike Miami!), they're friendly, the lifestyle and the driving is not fast-paced and the sun only sets at 9.

Yesterday was Memorial Day and we took to a big forested park, took a hike through woods around a lake, saw families having picnic, guys playing ball - just like I always imagined America to be like (watching too many Hallmark Movies!). I love it!

Cincinnati Airport, where we landed, is actually accross the border in Kentucky. Where we are in Southern Ohio, we're 25 minutes drive from South-Eastern Indiana and also from Northern Kentucky, where Cincinnati is actually situated.
I jogged past a new lake-development this morning. Six-bedroom mansions build in the colonial style with the backdrop of a lake to make them more marketable. Starting in the 900's.
In Miami that's what you'll pay for a small 3-bedroom house in Coral Gables or Coconut Grove!

Off to spend some time with the fam.
