Fun stuff!

Today I decided to go on the hunt for cover pictures, so as a true Miamian (person from Miami), I went to Calle Ocho (one of the most famous and tourist-attracting places in Florida full of Latin stuff) and began my quest.

P.S. I think I got the perfect picture for my cover.

I'm thinking that I should completely re-do the entire Table of Contents and just change a few things on the cover. As for the spread, I'm thinking of rewriting the article and changing the topic--I'd write about it on a different blog post more in detail. I hope everything works out and ends up as perfect as humanly possible for my standards and limitations.
