Frog Tales Marathon
Find what brings you joy and go there. - Anonymous
Who'd know that a bug-eyed frog could be the inspiration for this two-month Frog Tales Marathon?
I confess.
The invention was brought about by Senor Frog, mascot of a summer dine-in and fiesta spot in Orlando, Florida that we visited last year.
Even before seeing and experiencing the space, I already knew that I'd love it for its quirky name.
Squinting against the mid-afternoon sun, up front, I could see a life-sized amphibian in a yellow tee giving a 'high four.' He was beckoning us inside to savor an offering of traditional Mexican dishes.
The tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas were scrumptious and that the gaudy fiesta decor was fun. It was a perfect place to eat and drink.
Outside, the air held the promise of a scorching day. It was hot over the palm trees, but the sky was pure blue and I had never felt happier.
And would you believe it? I'm back, at about the same time last year.
Senor Frog awaits.
Si, Senor. He vuelto!
