Arriving and Thriving

   Hello from sunny Florida!
   Last night we finally settled into our beautiful accommodations here in the Ruskin campus.
   It was a long day of traveling for many of us as we awoke in the wee hours of the morning (3:30 AM) and took two flights to get to Tampa.
   We had quite the adventure grocery shopping for the week as we caught glimpses of the local community here.
   By 10 PM last night, the school was silent as we had all fallen asleep easily.
   This morning was a much more wonderful sight as we awoke to the Florida sun and the beautiful gardens that surrounded the back patio.
   Our group is feeling well rested and excited for the week that lies ahead.
   We attended a local mass this morning and loved seeing the retirement community. There is parking for golf carts all over the place!
   A wonderful lunch of sandwiches and some time set aside to decompress provides us with the time much-needed recooperattion.
   It is amazing how great this community is and how that Florida sun warms us both inside and out.
   We will be heading off soon to see manatees and pick strawberries!
Until then,
XOXO Ruskin
