Marino's Bar in Arcata California circa 1968 |
Most of yesterday was spent walking the sandy Miami Beach and lazing around in the sun, something I'm very unfamiliar with, but still enjoy. It was a pleasure to walk in the soft white sand and see all the activities that are taking place along Miami Beach. The people tanning and just enjoying the sunshine, the surfers and the kite surfers, all make up the fun atmosphere of the beach. It is real easy to loose yourself walking in the sand of Miami Beach.

The Bermuda Triangle Party was the event of the evening and a friendly competition between bartenders to show off their skills and create a cocktail the had to have Barrett's Ginger Beer and a Fee Brothers Flavored Syrup. The entries were very taste, and the Miami bartenders showed well as the created their own personal masterpieces. A few cocktails later and after a series of interesting conversations it was up to my room and a good night's sleep.
Today starts the judging and really getting into the meat of the event. This is the part I'm really looking forward to and can't wait to get started. ;o)
That sounds like a great way to spend a day. I'm going to have to try and make it down to Rum Renaissance next year.
