I went to a new restaurant this weekend. I was bored of the usual places. My mom suggested we go to Bocas. Bocas is a Venezuelan restaurant. The interior has a nice ambience. The waitress was swift. We didn’t have to ask her for extra water.   The most important thing is the food. We started with the appetizer sampler. It came with Arepas, tequenos and other cheese stuff. That little black roll has a pint of sweetness to it. It was real yummy. For drinks, I got strawberry juice, mother had maracuja and my brother had a pina colada....

It is always fun to write about food. Most of my happy memories are in restaurants. This weekend we went to Bonsai. It has been forever since we visited our favorite Thai and Sushi restaurant. The waitresses were pretty happy to see us. We must be the last tippers left in the entire world. We know what it is like to live from tips. My mother started out as a waitress when we moved to the States. The tips were the only reason we managed to survive. Moving along. We started by ordering drinks. Mother has developed a taste for...

This weekend I went to Universal Orlando with my mom and my brother. We thought we were going to have the park to ourselves. Turns out we were wrong.

This was but a hint of what was to come. I am not going to rant about the hotel. That is a topic for a different blog. Once we were...

A few days ago, I went with my family to the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. We had not visited the place since January 2021. In my first visit, I made a video about the Butterfly Conservatory.   This time I wanted to make a in depth blog about the place. I express myself better in writing. The Conservatory has two parts. It has the gift shop and the butterfly preserve. The gift shop went ham with the Christmas decorations. It was pretty cool! Unlike the first time I visited, the place was full of costumers. Parents kept coming...

Today, I visited the Bonsai Thai and Sushi restaurant of Miami, in 8th Street.  I go there every so often. I do not remember if I wrote about the place or not. I took some photos of the scenery and also the sushi. The ambience, the food and the service were perfect. For drinks, I had a soda, my brother had a Moscato and mother had beer. You can see the beer brand on the photo I took. The waitress suggested a shrimp dish that was just delicious. I think the dish was called Rockin’ Shrimp. The sauce it had...
