(we call it Ft. Liquordale)<br><br>
While y'all are here near the Starting Line for the new VRAA, I thought you might like to know where you're at, and perhaps enjoy a refreshment or two.<br><br>
The Starting Line area looks something like this:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.evsboca.com/lat001.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
though this beach is just a little bit north of where we've started, closer to my house, and we'll probably hit it later in the day.<br><br>
While you're hanging out at the beach, I mean starting line, maybe you'd like to groove to some tunes. I'm playing Mana. Want to hear them, too? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MloGmzIJY8U" target="_blank">Muelle de San Blas</a><br><br>
In the meantime, sip on some of these mojitos (if you like rum):<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.cocktailscout.de/cocktails/mojito.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
or caipiroshkas (if you prefer vodka):<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.chopper.co.za/images/caipiroshka.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
and if you're hungry and want to take in some protein and carbs, this Venezuelan arepa should hit the spot:<br><img alt="" src="http://p.vtourist.com/1/1840991-Arepa_de_pernil-Venezuela.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
I hope y'all enjoy it here! Have fun heading out on the VRAA.

Thanks Dia. I don't think Norman's going to look like that when y'all get here.

 

[Flounder]

I have never been there, but all that you advertise appeals to me - Then again I haven't been most places.

 

[roots]

Wow Dev, thanks!<br><br>
I'll pass on the mojitos, but will parttake in some carb-loading. Beer and Pan de Yucca works for me.<br><br>
Okay, 6900 miles is a long way to go. I'll take a cup of cafe', too.

 

[diablita]

Pan de Yucca and Pan de Bono is on the way! And cortaditos, more rocket fuel for you.<br><br>
I actually kicked off the VRAA with a nice brisk walk along the beach in the photo above. delicious!

 

[roots]

Aw man, you bring back good memories. I spent some time in Sunrise. Old gf was Columbiana y Boliviana. Her mom spoiled me with fresh cafe' and pan. I forgot about Pan de Bono tambien!

 

[diablita]

Bump for the new crew playing in this VRAA. Check out your starting line up at the top. And put on sun screen!

Are you still playing Maná? I like el Muelle de San Blas. Vivir Sin Aire & Cachito are also favorites.

 

[Floridaboiler]

Who hid the beer again!?

 

[diablita]

Vivir Sin Aire is a great one, Sputnik. I haven't heard Cachito. It makes me laugh b/c while I know 'cachito' means little horn, in Venezuela it's the name for small croissant pastries (shaped like horns). So I think of a cachito con jamon y queso. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[crazyfrog]

mmmmmmmmbeach!

 

[roots]

Yeah Dev! Thanks for getting the party started. Again.<br><br>
I'll take another round of the Pan de Yucca. Yum!

 

[JackDuggan]

why do I remain in NY when south Florida is only 3 hours away?<br><br>
great pics Diablita

 

[diablita]

I thought of you at the market the other day, Lloyd. Goya sells Pan de Bono and Pan de Yuca in the freezer section at Publix. Actually, if there's a little Latin Food section at your grocery store, they may sell it there, too.

That beach looks amazing...

 

[maccabeth]

thanks for that wonderful view! I live in GA and don't get to the beach nearly enough!!! Lovely. I'll take a mojito. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">
