Note 10:
We arrived at the warm, sunny state of Tampa in the west coast of Florida on the 16th of October. The day was sunny enough but seeing the rail clouds hovering at a distance, I knew we were in for rainy days. Day 2 & 3 turned out to be wet-with incessant rains, yet with the sun popping out every once in a while to assert its position! We were quite happy to stay indoors-at Abey’s Abode-gorging on the wonderful food she had made for us. The delicious Cuppa (tapioca) & Meen (fish) curry & Malabar Chicken biryani took us all the way back home- to God’s own country.
Amidst her hectic work schedules, Abey took us to the Madeira Beach, described on net, as lying ‘on the gulf of Mexico, an island 2 miles long and a smile wide’! Such a perfect description!
So though we never went for any Bay Dinner Cruises or visited any Contemorary Art , History or Science Museums that Tampa is famous for, we were comfortable & felt well cared for ; and carried with us the memory of our visit to the comprehensive Salvador Dali Museum during out previous two visits!
Thank you Abey, Thomas & Christian for being as warm & welcoming as ever! We left for Pittsburgh feeling well rested & rejuvenated!
