The Pier

On March 25th, 2009

Located in Downtown St. Petersburg, The Pier is a nice place to take a walk by night. Actually, the whole downtown is pretty charming: you have fancy restaurants, bars, nice buildings and beautiful sightseeing of the bay. So it’s very animated.

The wearing of the green

On March 14th, 2009

Shame on me for not wearing green clothes for the Saint Patrick’s Day! And fortunately, nobody pinched me :)

So we went to our famous place - Ybor City - where people celebrated worthily this event, wearing green and costumes with big parades. Thanks to that, I’m wearing some green now and can expect some luck lol

Saint Patrick’s Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy’s Day or simply Paddy’s Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17th of March.

The day is a national holiday of Ireland: it is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. It is also a public holiday in Montserrat. In Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Argentina and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.

Let’s go Lightning!!!

On March 3rd, 2009

We have some tickets for the NHL game tonight thanks to Transitions Optical, official sponsor of tonight’s game to promote their golf tournament in couple weeks: Transitions Championship.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

I was not expecting so much fun! When the hockey puck is behind the goal, players burst against the window so hard that the stadium sounds! And I don’t know exactly the rules but when they fight each other it is very impressive!
