(left to right - top to bottom) Elvis has left the building!, Mariquitas with garlic mojo, It was very windy in Ft. Lauderdale at night, Dennis, Mimi, Jack, Blanca and me at Casablanca Cafe, Flanigan's Seafood menu, my Cortadito at Romeu's, Everglades Holiday Park flyer, Paradise at The Seminole Hard Rock Casino, perhaps the highest point and longest view in Miami, Jack pouring "los addiction."
My job as a commercial photographer requires me to travel quite often and this allows me to visit friends in cities that I would not have visited otherwise because of business or financial obligations. My excursion to South Florida was one such trip. (see the Carnival Cruise post below) My longtime friend and fishing cohort, Jack Dunmyer has lived in the Miami - Ft. Lauderdale area for over 15 years where he and his beautiful wife, Blanca own a large home in the Silver Lakes area of Pembroke Pines. A list of special memories during my 4 day visit: a large Cubano sandwich and a Cafe Cubano at Versailles' in Little Havana, cuban dinners at Las Vegas and Romeu's, the Cordadito's at Sedano's, my two lobster dinner at the Casablanca Cafe, Mariquitas with garlic mojo, Late night pizza at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, Columbian breakfast pastries (yes, there is a food theme here), fishing in the Everglades Holiday Park, Jack and Blanca's dog Elvis, Blanca's mother speaking in broken English and me trying to speak or understand Spanish, the Latin culture in every way, shape and form ! The Miami-Fort Lauderdale area is a beautiful area bursting with culture from every corner of the world. If it wasn't for the "sweat fest" every summer and the "$100,000 car thing," I'd move there tomorrow.
