A quick note after a quiet day in Tampa

Ah, the Yankees were rained out tonight! My nephew Neil met us in Ybor City and we taxied to Steinbrenner Field, but after hot dogs and hamburgers and trips to the souvenir stand, we gave it up and went to Skippers with Neil's girlfriend for a drink.

Rain put the kibosh on lots today, but not on our spirit! We relaxed, texted, blogged, watched movies that Kevin brought - Iron Man and Out to Sea - and then tackled the bus to make our way to 7th avenue and 18th street. Hit up El Sol and Nicahabana - bought some torpedos in the former and some Salomones in the latter - and ended up at King Corona. Kevin smoked a Cain with some white wine and I went for a CAO MX2 and port. Neil met us and had a Chimay and a Java.

Tomorrow morning we leave bright and early to meet Eric Newman and tour the family factory near Ybor City, followed by some lunch there and maybe some laundry back at the hotel followed by meeting some local Tampa folks at Tampa Humidor in the evening.
