I know you're thinking what is a "Taco Bus"? Well, it's a small yellow (truck) bus, that serves the best authentic Mexican food I've had since eating in those little whole in the wall places in Los Angeles. The food is so authentic and beyond delicious, For moment, I forgot I was in Florida and was out west again. The original Taco Bus is located in Tampa, and has been a gathering place for those who desire the honest taste of Mexico. Now, another one has opened up in St. Petersburg, right across the Bay on Central Avenue. So, for those of you that live in the Tampa Bay area, I would highly recommend you stopping by. For us, it's about a 30 minute drive, but so worth it...matter of fact, we went on Saturday before heading off to Tampa, and again, yesterday while my daughter and I were out doing some shopping. This place is fabulous!!! Besides their food being so fantastic, the drinks are so authentic such a the Pina Agua Fresca I had and the Coca Cola Mexicana in the bottle that my daughter had...there are many others as well. After standing in line, you order at the "bus" and you can either take it to go, or there is enough seating, some outside under the umbrellas or inside which is all opened to the fresh Florida breezes!

Long long lines, but so worth the wait
After a trip to the Taco Bus for a late lunch - early dinner, my daughter and I went to HomeGoods to look at some summer items for the back yard, and since I had my camera with me, we decided to go to the beach to watch the sunset. It was a perfect Florida day, temperatures in the mid 70's, very low humidity, and not a cloud in the sky. As we got to the beach there was the usual warm breezes coming off the Gulf Coast. Love watching the children run along the shoreline chasing the dolphin. It made for a wonderful end to a great day together.
