By 11:00 when we met, the rains had just about ended. The weather was overcast which was fantastic since that helped keep the heat at a minimum. The place was not crowded either.

Jen and I went to Leah's new school, USF, St Pete, for a talk about the illustrations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Wow, great talk and great looking school! I sure hope Leah learns to love it and appreciates how lucky she is to be getting an education at such a wonderful place.
