We have successfully created as requested by the Dallasites a blog in which to post our journeys, experiences, discoveries, and photos. The genesis occurred at the bar (no surprise) while at Tommy Bahama's in Naples, lured out of the Summer rain for $5 margaritas.This blog will encourage and represent the forum for all communication and idea exchanges in the near but possibly far future. So, don't hold back and let the bloggin begin!!!!

Adora Rocks Naples







Most of you know that in the summer or off season in Naples, it is a bit slow.



But there are so many fabulous advantages of being in Naples during the slow season



which include saying goodbye to all the tourists from the Midwest and Northeast and saying hello to all the Euros that come for holiday. There is a tremendous shift in business which means more happy hours, dining specials, evening bands, and far less traffic which is a good thing if you are on a scooter! I'll attempt to post pictures of the amazing drag queen "Adora" from Miami that performed recently at Bamboo Cafe here in Naples....this consisted of a Cuban man dressed up almost clown-like shuffling around the French restaurant in full jewelry and make-up while lip-sinking to classic French music. Bamboo was absolutely crammed with gay men, French locals and tourists, and conservative, retired Neopolitans in absolute disgust. Deon and I took my mom who belly laughed albeit on club soda and cranberry juice while admiring Adora's cocktail rings. Who said Naples is slow in the off season???
