A time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

This past weekend Manager/spouse and I went to Orlando for childrens writers workshop- the SCBWI Florida Mid-Year Workshop. The workshop was held in Disney. It was an illuminating and productive time. I am looking forward to the next workshop.
We were given ham sandwiches for lunch. I had forgotten to get mine and I hope they will bring it for the next event.

Since Manager/spouse and I were already standing in Disney...why not have a look at the tremendous Star Wars party there? So we did. It was a great opportunity to get some pictures with a few of my favorite characters.

Here I am standing with my favorite- a stormtrooper. The costume was amazing as you can see.




Having my picture standing next to a Gamorrhean Guard was something I wouldn't believe as a kid. Now I have proof.



There Jawas everywhere. They were adorable. I had to have my picture standing next to one of these little buggers.



But, for me the best part of my weekend was finding the tiny, hidden Mexican taco stand. A place so remote and hidden that when I walk in...the locals question Manager/spouse cautiously- "who's the gringo?"
There is nothing like the authentic food and eating the way the indigenous folk do.
Manager/spouse and I are the real Anthony Bourdains and Andrew Zimmermans when it comes to traveling to find the good, authentic food and talking with people.

Tongue and pork tacos...brillant!
