GLOBE TROTTING: MIAMI BAYSIDE, MEDITERRANEAN SEA...

MIAMI BAYSIDE

Many places in the world are designed to be seen, such as  Naples seashore, Rio de Janeiro and the likes. Miami Bayside, tough recently  set,  can be added to the list. But, while the above mentioned towns and cities, are already legendary, Miami Bayside geographically shares the North considered abundant and the South relatively destitute.  The wealthy come to Miami in  search of the sun and warm beaches, the poor are aimed at earning a living under the same sunlight. Miami is located a this crossroads of a dual world.

At dusk, when with a heartbreaking feeling, we watch the boats sneaking into the harbor through the daylight left behind, we  wonder where they come from and what lies far away across  the flaming horizons they will not reach.  The magic of the place is not fading away, but even though the party is the same ashore, we know that there would be some change at night.  The sun is being  gone. But there is enough light into  buildings and along the avenues to keep everything alive. Miami Bayside doesn’t want to sleep like Manhattan in NY, NY

EL CARTEL COLOMBIANO

( Ph & Ad). A lounge and a restaurant. Its name sounds like a joke. Any way this a phony name that makes  people laugh . Managers and waiters also laugh when asked about the name by coming clients . As a launching  business a few month old, El Cartel specializes sure in Latin American spicy foods, but…. Close by Halfmoon  also has a latino  taste. july 2007

PICHOU BISTROT
At first glance, Pistou Bistro has nothing to do with  ordinary   places filled with people eager to chat and sip coffee at lunch time as usual between 12 H and 2 H. PM. Pichou anyway doesn’t open so long, because, M. Ghetti tells, “ our clientele is mostly court employees and French who want to taste even aboard  the Provence cooking.. 

Inside, Pistou Bistro has a sober touch with paintings and photographies hanging on the walls. With a capacity for 70 persons, Pistou Bistro serves now only 40, given the trottering economy.  But, as if he were to express his sense of measure, Pistou opens only for less than 4 hours, from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M.. “ my family coming first” M, Ghetti reminds.


AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Everything seems to revolve around the Mediterranean Sea, so to speak.

A landlocked sea, hence its name, theMediterranean, the size of the Caribbean sea, sprawls around three famous crossroads.: Europa, Africa and the Middle East. No other sea  unites so many peoples, witnesses so many civilizations’ fall and rise. their names echo even in our times: Lisbone, Roma, Cairo, Carthage.  But, more than for history’s ghosts, today’s vacationers in search of respite and exotic love the Mediterranean for its geographical features. Inhabitants living here called it Mare Nostrum according to the Roman way.  Actually viewed from Egypt’s , or Spain’s coasts, the Mediterranean seems to belong to every city or state though belonging to all of them. It is such an ambiguity which would create and shape the future of this part of an otherwise huge ocean.
