Rocky Point revisited

I'm cleaning up some photo files and came across a couple from Rocky Point that are too good not to share. This first one is from Manny's Bar on the waterfront. I think its a pretty rocking spot in the evenings and probably unbearable when the spring break crowd is in town. The day we were there it was very quiet. At least it was quiet until a couple of guys showed up with some kind of a sand buggy that had a Honda generator mounted on it strictly to run the boom box that was pumping out noise as they drove. I don't think the generator was all that quiet but I didn't even notice it was running until we left the bar. Mel & I were having difficulty concentrating on the dune buggy because of the eye candy that was travelling with the young men.

I didn't take any pictures in the dead fish restaurant but it was a great adventure as well. They take an entire fish - appropriately sized for the number of people ordering - and deep fry it. Those of you who have experienced one of our pitchfork fondues will know how good meat can be if properly deep fried and this fish was no exception to that rule.

Mel & Billie also took us shopping on Fifth Avenue. I'm not sure what the right name for the street is but it is a long stretch of tourist traps. Marilyn managed to replace the blanket on the couch with one that appears to be Jorgito-proof. Mel & Billie were able to find a tin can dog for Billie's son in a shop run by a dear sweet old abuela (grandma) but I couldn't get Mel to pose with her for this picture. I did get this one of Mel wearing his Viking garb. I think he must have had an ancestor named Mel the Marauder - that hat just looks so him.
