They were in garlic butter sauce with lemon on the side and some toasted french bread. Also I had two very stiff drinks, which were called “Penguins” and which were bright blue in color. They had rum and grapefruit juice in them, among other things. And then we had chocolate cake.
We went for a stroll on the beach, too, and my shoes are full of sand now. The water was a bit chilly.
You can always come visit at any time after July 5th or so, when we’ve had time to move into the house. There’s a pond and a fire pit and we can go to this restaraunt. The place is called Hemingway’s and it’s a hotel bar, but the kind of hotel bar they used to have in the 40’s.
The hotel itself dates from the 20’s, of course, so one would expect that.
It sounds lovely, but my three days in Florida is probably it for personal time this year. You can drive us to the airport on the Tuesday morning and pick us up on the Thursday evening, so as not to interfere with your dad’s schedule.
Unless you go to a concert in Greensboro on the Thursday with Bill and his byos. I haven’t heard about it lately, so maybe they couldn’t get tickets.
Maybe those blue drinks had blue curacao in them. At a street party a long time ago, they served Blue Hawaiians which had blue curacao, pineapple juice, rum and some other stuff in them. Yummy!
