1 Day Road Trip to the Parrot Keys, in Key West
On Saturday, my family took a mental health day. We could only afford to stay one day in our favorite resort. This time we shared only one room. The room had two beds and a little porch, so it works just as well. The last time I visited the Parrot Keys I was more photography oriented. This time I wanted to take lots of videos. I have been working a little bit more on the Youtube. Once the videos are strung together, they are also going to appear on this blog as well. I am going to post about three...
Happy Labor Day from Teresita Blanco the Artsy Sister
Today, I got back from a mini vacation with my family. We went to the Eden Roc in Miami Beach. With a skeleton staff, it was passable at best. At least the rooms were cheap. We ended up not getting our room cleaned once while we stayed there. The amenities were all fine and dandy. The TV had HBO, and we saw a lot of terrible movies. The only decent movie was The Last Unicorn. The beds were cruel mistresses. We ended up going home early because of them. When the bedsheets are sturdier than the pillows, then you...
The Parrot Key After Irma
It has been almost nine years since my family went to the Parrot Keys. We have been roaming about the place waiting for a decent deal. This year they had a special for AAA members. We ended up with a 20 percent discount. The better deal was for a villa that came with two rooms. The only downside was the stairs. Still, we were used to climbing stairs since we used to live in Hialeah. The rooms were large and spacious. The place even came with a little kitchen and a living room. The first floor bathroom had a tub...
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...
Miami Beach Late at Night
This is a photo I took late in Miami Beach. I am a little bit mellowed out around the edges. Last night, I managed to draw a new manga page. I had an interesting manga related dream. I think I want new graphic novels. Still, I do not have room for them. I used to read graphic novels when I was at University. There was a small, but interesting collection. I like short novels. I do not have the follow through to deal with longer manga projects like Naruto. I did read a couple of interesting them around the edges....
