Miami Beach, Florida
April 13th, 2009
I just got back from a lovely, but short, vacation to Miami Beach, FL, with my sister. She brought me along on her Pampered Chef reward trip. Lucky me!
We spent most of our time by the pool in the record-setting-93-degree day last Monday. Yikes, it was blistering hot. We stayed at the Fontainebleau in north beach Miami…it was very luxurious and reminded me a lot of Vegas hotels.
When we made it down to South Beach for some eats, we had some really delicious food at La Ventana – a Colombian restaurant. The place was teeny (maybe 20 people could fit in there) so we had to sit at the bar. It was really good food. My sister had a traditional Colombian meal of beef with tomato-onion sauce, while I had seasoned grilled fish. Yum yum!
We also had lunch at Puerto Sagua, a Cuban restaurant in South Beach, FL. It was also delicious! I had fish veracruz style served with a healthy portion of rice and fried plantains. I’m not a big fan of plantains, but these were quite good. The fish was awesome and reminded me of Thai and Indian style food with a lot of good sauce, veggies, and rice.
