Camino memories

We lucked out and got a chance to reminisce a bit about our 500 mile walk of the Camino de Santiago. Alicia Darius and her hubby, Marino Zara, own a condo in Miami, and they were stopping in there on their way back to the family home Tafalla Spain, outside Pamplona. We spent the afternoon with them, stopping for a really nice lunch at the Versailles, “the world’s most famous Cuban restaurant.

We spent most of the afternoon touring the area of Miami where they live. We checked out the Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and all of the upscale trendy residential and night life neighborhoods. We then retired to their 31^st story condo to spend the afternoon. Marino, who loves to cook, made a Cuban omelet for a snack (which was amazing), and we spent most of our time on the balcony overlooking Miami beach. We even got a chance to watch Ken Jennings win his first match in the Jeopardy Greatest of All-Time tournament. What a wonderful day!

Since we were sort of passing by it on the way back to Beverly Beach, we headed to Fort Lauderdale beach to take in another Whispering Giant, our first of the new decade! Nobody seems to know the name of this Peter Wolf Toth statue, but what we do know is that it was moved here from the Seminole Reservation in Hollywood. That brings us to a whopping 29 of these Giants, just a bit shy of half of the ones that still exist – pretty cool!

Talk to you soon.
