After 18 months of good service in Florida, it’s time for Lionel to leave us and to go back in France. For this event, we had a great diner with the team in our favorite steak house and then, we had drinks with Mike in every single bar in St Pete. I will definitely remember your face bro’ at the end of that night :)

My family are here since a week now so we decided to go to Key West in order to visit Florida a little bit. And this time, I don’t want to drive all day long from Tampa so I think this is the opportunity to go by boat thanks to Key West Express.

So funny, the first night I told them to try a Key Lime Pie because this is the best dessert in town and they will never find something like that somewhere else. The thing is I never try a real Key Lime Pie from Key West, neither those from Key Lime Pie Factory.

I like Key Lime Pies in France so it should be good. Actually, it wasn’t because it was too sweet and I didn’t trust them before to try it myself. You can now imagine my face with the first bite…

But anyway, Key Lime Pies still rock!

Sarasota is a city located in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the state of Florida in the United States. Its current official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

These islands separating Sarasota Bay from the gulf near the city, known as keys, include Lido Key and Siesta Key, which are famous worldwide for the quality of their sandy beaches.

Today the keys that are included in the boundary of Sarasota are Lido Key, St. Armands Key, Otter Key, Coon Key, Bird Key, and portions of Siesta Key. Previously, Siesta Key was named Sarasota Key. At one time, it and all of Longboat Key were considered part of Sarasota and confusing contemporaneous references may be found discussing them.

Longboat Key is the largest key separating the bay from the gulf, but it now is evenly divided by the new county line of 1921. Most of the portion of the key that parallels the Sarasota city boundary (at that county line) along the bay front of the mainland was removed from the city boundaries at the request of John Ringling in the mid-1920s, to avoid taxation of his new developments at the southern tip of the key.

In American Championship Car Racing, “Indy Car” is a descriptive name for a type of open wheel car that has participated in the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. Originally, the machines were generally referred to as “Championship Cars,” or the more ambiguous term of “Big Cars.” Both terms were used to differentiate the machines from lower-level, similar-looking open-wheeled cars of the time such as sprints and midgets. However, as the result of the genre’s fundamental link to the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, many people started to use the Indy Car name in order to differentiate the Indianapolis-style open-wheel cars from other open-wheel cars, such as Formula One cars.
