Having fun in Mount Dora and meeting new people. Meet Vicky and Jaun Salavaria from Miami. We met Jaun in our former lives as landscape designers; he manages one of the best high-rise condominiums in Bal Harbor, Fl. We really enjoyed talking about old memories, dining together, and we welcomed the opportunity to forge a more personal relationship. We are looking forward to their return trip! We had a lot of laughs with the Moabas, the Sullivans, and the Brusatos. They truly know how to travel and enjoy life. You will notice the picture is a little blury; however, I am a chef, not a photographer. Coming soon Moaba Joe's Bistro! Betty and Sue are two sisters, who are a riot! Betty lives in Phoenix Arizona and Sue is a hop, skip and a jump away in Largo, Fl. They promised to hold up our sign for us, as long as I continue to make them breakfast.. Here we are with our new friends, Barry and Jill. What a great weekend we all had at the Mount Dora Art Festival. We spent a wonderful evening together at our new house--Wine, Chicken Marsala, and lots of laughs, what a life! We also had great conversation and alot in common with Greg and Marcy. We will be having them over for dinner next time they come. Here is chef Jim and his new friend, the Chicken. This is some "Chicken Soup for Amy's Soul"! Compliments of our guests--Lynn and Ron. We had a lot of fun with the Chicken. Here we see from left to right, Ana and Jim with Fred and Cecily from Ft. Meyers. Ana and Jim were from Miami until they fell in love with Mount Dora, they are now the new innkeepers of the Inn. Susan and Dawn wanted a quiet, relaxing get away from the hustle and bustle. Based on their wonderful smiles, I see they found what they were looking for. Terry and Marta are from Kendall. Ana and Jim (new Innkeepers) were partners with Terry in Miami. Wow, was he surprised to become sole-proprietor of their business, and Marta was pleased, as he is not splitting the profits three ways! Here are the Zapone "Sisters" as they liked to be called, enjoying a wonderful trip of shopping, dining, and sightseeing. They were alot of fun, we look forward to having them back at our Inn. The Bennetts shown above were here for a little midweek getaway. She has a very interesting occupation in that she works for Sea World and works in the water with the dolphins and manatees. Very interesting stories. The Leduc's got married and spent their honeymoon here at the Mount Dora Historic Inn. Bonnie lived in Mount Dora as a child and wanted to get married here.
