Julio’s Musings Around Columbia County, New York

Coming soon, Cuban Cuisine Columbia County, NY

Originally uploaded by julio.miyares

Renowned Cuban Folk artist Maria Victoria de Bernard is quietly (until now) making plans for a Cuban Cuisine service in the bucolic town of Gallatin, New York . Gallatin is a few miles South/East of the hip artist centric city of Hudson, New York and 20 miles West of Millerton, New York.
Come back for further details. What I can say right now is it will be simple fare revolving around Cuban sandwiches, Media Noches, Sandwich de Croquetta. Plans for a kiosk or home cooking and delivery service have not yet been decided.

Out for a dive

Storm clouds forming in the distance on the way to a dive in the Florida Keys. This has become one of my favorite photos. I am sure it has much esthetic value which I will need someone more conversant with language to describe. A poet perhaps.

Back at the ranch, (this was taken during vacation) , perhaps the analogy is to the brewing storm where I currently work. The annual preparation for wackings are producing the budding rumour mill and angst they usually do at this time of year. Not angst on my part; I sleep like a baby; but in others that worry about such things.

Ah, a distant memory as I write this entry from hip Northern Virginia. Mind you, I don’t miss the abysmal driving, constant anti-Castro rhetoric, profusion of Hummers (haven’t these folks heard or give a damn of global warming?). Makes you almost wish for a Category 6 hurricane to wash away all of the human made excesses.

Nevertheless, how can you argue with the tropical weather , the beautiful beaches, the numerous diving opportunities , the Cuban food (check out my Yelp Reviews on that)
As I plan my upcoming business trips to London England, Dublin Ireland and China , I will long for just one more moment on the sand, Till next time, I will have nothing more then these photos.
