Didn't mean to start a go to lunch thing everyday, but somehow out we went three days in a row to interesting places. First to Pastrami Dan's a 30 year plus family owned small deli that has the world's best roast beef and pastrami sandwiches (they say) and it was pretty good stuff - ate every bite and licked our fingers. They still get their meat from the same place in the Bronx - not knowing that much about pastrami, or for that matter, the Bronx, it still sounds terribly authentic to me.
Next came the Rod & Gun Club down in Everglades City. We were making our twice a year run to
see the alligators. Remember this Tiffany & Chris? Sorry about the lack of alligators, but the club was fun. This place drips with history. Hemingway, 4 presidents, and many more notable people stayed here with all the crazy stories that a 1860's guy fishing and hunting club can dream up. Good food and very quiet this time - still off season I guess. We did see a lot of alligators and birds, not as many perhaps as we've seen in the past, but some big boys hanging out. These gators are real I promise.
Lastly went to Stir Crazy - a fun place that stirfrys (hence the clever name) your choices of vegies, meat, served with noodles or rice. I don't know if this is a chain or not, only one we've seen. Good food!
Saw our first otter of the season this morning on the beach walk. He was racing back and forth over the walkway. We'd heard loud animal noises in the mangroves as we walked and think something had disturbed it and it's family members. (We usually see three together). Hope everybody is okay - that nature is rough lesson again... Oh, added the first picture that didn't turn out at all of the otter (he & I were moving too fast, but I kind of like the special effects)
And book #56 done. (I evidently lost count with the two - I'm one more ahead than I knew. See, there's another reason for cataloguing the books) Muriel Spark - Loitering with Intent. Sadly, I didn't like it, made it through but not my style. She's considered a classicist, British (yes, I
should have liked it), and much lauded. Oh, well...
Ohhh I LOVE that last photo. Looks somewhere between fireworks and a faraway galaxy! One of those wonderful artistic happy accidents!
