Pool Relaxation in the Backyard
Today, I wanted to meditate a bit on the pool. That is to say the pool that I used to have. It was one of those above ground fakeish type of pools. It was pretty deep around the edges. It ended up being a good place to raise frogs, and to dispose of bird legs. We should have paid for the pool guy to give it monthly income. Unfortunately, such niceties cost an arm and a leg. Anyhow, we ended up getting rid of the pool when Irma came. We wanted to avoid having it fly off to the neighbor’s...
Chesapeake Vacation Two Day Weekend
Last week or so, I went to Chesapeake Beach Resort with the family. It had been forever since we had something that resembled a real vacation. We had visited before ages ago. So, it was a good a time as any to revisit the place. Plus, I was in a fresh shrimp type of mood. The hotel is a stone’s throw away from my favorite fish restaurant. It ended up raining twice during the vacation. The first time was late at night. This gave us plenty of time to fool about the pool. I also did Kayaking for an hour...
Miami Beach Revisited Colin Street
I recently went back to Miami Beach with my family. I used to visit the place often back when I lived in Hialeah. Hialeah became quite infamous due to the snow. It doesn’t snow, but the movie folks seem to think so. Anyhow…Since I live in Kendall now, it is quite a far away to visit Miami Beach on a weekly basis. The ride there was pleasant enough. You need to get there super early to get parking. We didn’t enter the beach per say. We had come there to eat at Manolo. We wondered about while digesting the food....
Manolo Revisited Foodie Travel
It had been ages since I visited Manolo. It is not that the restaurant got bad. Rather, we moved pretty far away from Miami Beach. It became a real pain to visit that beach and all the places around it. So, this weekend we worked up the energy to visit Manolo again. It was decked out for the FIFA event. At night, the place gets super crowded with fans. This is why it is important to visit it super early if you just want to eat food. We ordered the usual: hotdogs and pizza. Mom had breakfast. It was all...
Divieto Foodie Restaurant Italian Food
I went to Divieto with my family. It was an Italian restaurant that was recommended by one of mother’s friends. It is a tad more expensive than olive garden. The first thing we had to mention is the ambience. It has a nice look. It also has TVs for you to see Sports. One of the waiters informed us that the place was inspired by Prohibition Era Italian restaurants. It was a nice factoid as all. For appetizer, we had the Antipasto Misto. It came with various hams, breads and jams. The jam in the center was specially yummy. For...
