My favorite dive bar in all the world

Cuban combo plate…

Picadillo Habanero – savory ground beef cooked with tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, cumin, bay leaves, oregano, olives, capers and raisins

Ropa Vieja – “Old Clothes”, marinated shredded skirt steak with red and green peppers, fresh tomatoes, onions and red wine

Lechon Asado – traditional Cuban roasted pork in cumin-mojo sauce

Served with yellow rice, black beans, fried plantains and yucca

This is a lovely little state park about 35 miles from Key West. I always stop for a visit when I’m in the Keys. It was virtually destroyed during Hurricane Irma in late August/early September of this year.

The first 13 photos are from 2015 and 2016. The final 13 photos I took yesterday. Quite a dramatic (and sad) difference.

Yesterday’s drive and a few sunset shots from my hotel room

Gonna be a crowded city today…

Not a bad spot for breakfast…
