January 10th

This is a great shot to sum up today. I headed into Orlando to meet up with Scott, a representative for Ourlando, a nonprofit organization that is part of the Local First Movement. (If you aren't aware of what that is, its basically a movement to put chains and franchises on the backburner and focus on bringing local and independent (indie) businesses to the forefront. Its happening all over America!) This cafe is called The Drunken Monkey and I will honestly say its one of the best cafes I've been in. They offered free wifi, amazing snacks (completely vegan friendly!), great FAIR TRADE coffee, and a fabulous ambiance. Also, very friendly people. What a great day, followed by a reunion with a great friend from high school, Alex, who I hadn't seen in three years. Yay!
