Montage of Miami Food!

Oh, the food in Miami. With a warning to my vegetarian friends, take a gander:

Happy B-day, Dale!

Before going out we don our fancy shoes. That's me glowing. :~)


This Brazilian restaurant was the highlight for certain:

Dale and Kevin treated the group!


Left to right: Antong, Dale, Brian, Claudia, me, Kevin, and Ellen. Friend Claudia was kind enough to take the photo.

So it works like this: waiters come by with skewers of meat such as sirloin, tenderloin, chicken hearts, lamb, chicken legs, sausages...you get the idea. It's sliced from the skewer onto your plate.


If you'd like a portion, you flip the piggie to "yes please."


And then you make a piggie of yourself.


Monster-sized desserts of flan and mousse follow, of course.

And then you basically have to sleep sitting up because you can't lie down for hours.

But then there's always room for morning grits!

My, we were treated to a feast the entire week!

Miami Photo Montage

As I hoped, here's a round up of my Miami trip in photos!

These little lizards are everywhere. My mom used to make one "talk" to me daily when I was about 2. Interesting that the lizard always said it was time to nap.

French bakery in the elite Coral Gables, which boasts pink sidewalks.

My grandmother's hands and orchid.

My older little brother's rocking business!

Antong, the amazing exchange student from China.

So, it was a buffet. I could have whatever I wanted. :~)

Um. These just crack me up.

Dale

Carol and Kevin

Claudia and Dale caught in the act of buying an i phone and a nano as gifts for us!

I miss everyone already!

Home from Miami!

I'm home from Miami! This is just a quick drive-by blog as I scramble to get my feet down again. So much to do! But I will post Miami highlights soon.

I would like to note, to all those who don't ever believe me, I was mistaken for a man again. "Sir, here's your ticket," the airline personnel said. Yep.
