We spent a month in India. The country was everything we expected it to be, old traditions and older buildings. It was hotter than hell (we went in June/July). There was fantastic food and interesting wildlife. The thing that will stand out forever in our memories though, are the people we met along the way. India’s people are so colorful and vibrant. They are full of such a subtle flair that can only come from centuries of doing things a certain way. This is a small collection of the many colorful people of India we came across in our travels.
The Venetian Pool – A Hidden Gem in Coral Gables, Florida
Hidden in the heart of Coral Gables, Florida is a place that captured my heart a few years ago. Kenin took me to the Venetian Pool for my birthday a few years back and it is a place that I return to every time we are in town.
Getting in Gear with Miami Exotic Auto Racing
“Hit the brakes at 200 ft” … “Now Turn in”…”Hit the apex”… “Now Floor it!” I think my driving coach said something else, but all I remember after that point is a growling 530 HP V-10 engine laying the backbeat for the crashing bang of my frantically thumping heart. There are moments in life where large doses of adrenaline make every minute seem like hours, this was one of them. I can tell you all about the smell of the burning rubber from my screeching tires, the sun glistening on the windshield, the heat ripples on the surface of the asphalt, the dry-metallic taste in my mouth brought upon by the mix of fear and exhilaration, and the feel of this 3500 pound machine dancing nimbly on the track. But what I remember most, is the sound. There is something about the growl of an engine that sends chills up my spine and makes the hairs on my neck dance. It always has. It’s the sound every motor head knows and lives for. I’ve heard it a thousand times from the outside, but I haven’t ever felt it from the inside before. It’s life changing. Addicting! I could insert a million adjectives here but I will say this instead: If just reading this paragraph got you excited enough to feel your blood running hot, you need to find your way to the Le Mans track of the Homestead Miami Speedway and pay a visit to the guys at Miami Exotic Auto Racing. Right. Now!
#FriFotos – #Wet
This week’s #FriFotos is #Wet. This should be nothing but fun and games, since being wet is usually the result of playing in water. :) I am a crabby cancer, so I love nothing more than getting my toes wet. If there is the opportunity to play in water, I’m there!
Anne’s Beach – A Dog Friendly Free For All in Florida Keys
Us Ramblers recently made our way down to the Florida Keys. We were visiting one of Zoe’s favorite friend’s, Savannah. What do you do when you are visiting friends in the Keys? You go to the beach of course :) ! Anne’s Beach is a quaint dog-friendly beach in the Florida Keys. It made for the perfect day for the girls to get their paws wet and get some playtime in the soft sand.
