During the day, we drove to St. Petersburg to see if it would be a good place to live and check out the drive for a possible commute. It's a nice little city and we had a lovely lunch downtown at a place called the Red Mesa Cantina.
Their outdoor patio was beautiful, surrounded by a "fence" of bamboo.
We peeked at a couple of houses that I had liked online, but did not like as much in person. I neglected to tell you that we took a trip to Lutz a few days ago (pronounced Lootz) and totally fell in love with a house in the most wonderful, gorgeous neighborhood - full of giant oak trees with Spanish moss. It is in a place called the "Silver Forest" (sounds like a fairy tale). So please all keep your fingers crossed that our house sells soon (and the house we like doesn't sell) so Glenn can buy it for my birthday.
It is very ornate and has lots of Spanish tile indoors and out, and has been in Tampa since 1905.
The inside has tons of different dining rooms, but here is where we were seated. Their wine list was thicker than a phone book, so we ended up getting something the waiter recommended.
We opted to pay the additional whopping $6 a person to see the dinner show, which features Flamenco dancers. We were seated right next to the stage and it was a lot of fun watching the dancers and hearing the Spanish music and lots of foot stomping. Ole'!
I tried to take some pics, but it was tricky because the lighting was weird, and of course, the dancers wouldn't stand still for me.
Except in this one...(atta way, girls!)
So anyway, thanks for the great dinner and show! We had a lot of fun. Hope you all are having a great weekend too!
