On Friday I hopped a flight down to Tampa to visit a dear friend, Debbie – where all we did was watch football all weekend!
First up was the wonderful old Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City in Tampa. This place has been around since 1905! If you go, I suggest you get a seat in the room with the stage so you can watch the flamenco dancers perform! The food was great and the sangria was too – I highly recommend it!
The weather was BEAUTIFUL in Tampa that weekend. It wasn’t too hot and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately, the Bucs had fallen upon hard times, so there were some empty seats…and the Panthers weren’t doing so hot either. Luckily, we (the Panthers) emerged as the winners of the two losers.
Me representing in a sea of red….
Debbie lived in Charlotte and is a Panthers fan too but she had to root for her “home” team.
