The Fourth Day at The Beach....
On Sunday the Winter Party was hosting the annual Beach Party at the beach by Lummus Park which just happens to be across the street from The Palace. We knew that by 6 pm when the Beach Party was over, The Palace would be overrun by handsome men ready to continue the party at the best outside bar on South Beach! But this was the view of Ocean Drive around noon; deserted and beautiful. You can see the tents set up for the Beach Party on the other side of the park.
Finally a shot of my favorite Security Guard who always escorts me through the crowd.
And so ended another day in Paradise. Four straight days of party, party, party had The Countess feeling a little tired. So the next day was pretty low key until Mark picked us up for dinner. But that is another post!
We started the day by meeting the wonderful Tosca15 for lunch. It was so great to see her and have a chance to visit. We hadn't seen each other since last summer in the Berkshires.
After duBarry had her first Bloody Mary of the day, we walked up to Hosteria Romana for a delicious lunch.
After lunch we returned to The Palace to claim our great seats in the middle of the outside bar. The place to see and be seen. So many people came up to say hello. It was lots of fun. I was particularly thrilled to have my fellow blogger "The South Beach Bum" introduce himself. It was great fun to meet face to face. Here I am with Gary and his partner E...
And here in the center of the bar in blue and pink are the two sisters, Mrs. Astor and the Countess duBarry, frowning at me for my audacious display of popularity. They were whispering and plotting all afternoon to no avail.
There were all kinds of people parading on Ocean Drive that day. Here is the Snake Man and his son with their snakes wrapped around their necks. Some people walk their dogs, they walk their snakes.
Brooke Hogan (Hulk Hogan's daughter) caused a bit of a celebrity stir among the crowd. She is a very beautiful girl. Here she is with the Countess duBarry...
As you can see, the crowd in front of The Palace increased considerably when the Beach Party ended. My new friend, Travis, is in the center of the crowd. He got a little burnt that day!
Later a few of us went back to the Hosteria Romana for dinner. The Countess, Travis, Rich, Mark, Mike, and Brian had a wonderful time laughing and eating their delicious food.
