Three Cuban Paintings Made by Mom’s Childhood Friend
Today, I decided to do something a little bit different. This is not to say that I am running out of fine art to show you. I can paint and draw many things. For the time being, I have been focusing on my children’s book project. I don’t want to show any finished pictures from the book till it gets published. I have a real good feeling about. Anyhow, a couple of years ago, through the magic of Facebook mother got in contact again with a childhood friend. They were real tight when younger. She gave him his first terrible...
Much Ado About Wahoo Bar and Grill
Today, I am feeling a little bit hungry. It seemed like a good a time as any to talk about this food place. I would not mind going there again this weekend. The main issue is that mother is usually the one who drives. I do not want to force her to drive pretty far away. The place is in Islamorada. Last week, we were thinking of were to go. We had two options. We could either go North or South. We decided to go South. It was a good decision. Everyone was like in Miami Beach last week. They...
Much ado about Colombia
It has been quite the number of years since I visited Colombia. It seems to have changed quite a bit. I visited Cartagena with some fellows that were mother’s friends. We no longer hang out because of reasons. I think they secretly hated us because we were Cubans. The people from the US treat Latinos like one homogenous group. However, we are all different.

People rarely bond just because they speak the same tongue....
July in Miami Beach
Yesterday, I was in a children's birthdate party. It was the first birthdate of the great granddaughter of one of mom's friends. I went with my family to the party in a banquet hall, even though it was pouring. We were one of the firsts to arrive in spite of the fact that we were half an hour late. The party was rather pleasant, decent food and good company. It was pouring too much, so I did not bring my big camera. Also, they had an official photographer, so I did not want to crowd the place. The interesting thing...
Manolo Restaurant Review
Needless to say, I am a bit hungry. This photo features one of my visits to the Manolo restaurant. It is in Miami Beach. It faces the Sazon restaurant. Anyhow, the photo features my pizza, the milkshake and the French fries. The hotdogs belong to my brother. The restaurant itself sells a variety of goods. It also has a bakery, which you can order take out. The coolest items they have on display are the cakes. Just getting a small piece of it is to die for. Still, the best item on the menu is their gourmet ice cream. They...
