Las Olas Art Festival

So last week Sunday, we were carried off by the lovely Such to downtown Ft. Lauderdale. As Such puts it, I am so lucky to have her as a friend as I finally get a chance to go out to nice places. She is constantly ragging on me for living in Ft. Lauderdale for 2 years and still having never been to Orlando, or South Beach or even downtown Miami. But no longer can she rag on me about downtown Ft. Lauderdale. It was fun! We went to see the Las Olas Art Festival. The art was pretty good, but the highlight for me was spending time with family and friend.

Upon arrival, we saw a starbucks stand serving complimentary coffee. I am not a coffee drinker, but who can turn down free starbucks which usually goes for as high as $4/cup. They were serving a new type low fat coffee called "Skinny Cafe Mocha" Its made with 2% skimmed milk and sugar-free syrup. Who ever heard of sugar-free syrup, I think that is the ultimate oxymoron. It didnt taste that bad though, and reminded me of the Swiss-miss mocha flavor.

One of the most interesting oddities about the ordeal was that just about everyone had their dog out from the french-cut poodle to the pitt bull. I think I will put it on my calendar to visit next year when they have the festival again.
