An initiation to Tropical Point

September, 2001 @ Praia da Vittoria, Terceira

Tropical Point is the restaurant that is pretty much at the end of the pub crawl of Praia. It is the last restaurant you encounter and is directly across the street from the 'beach' of Praia. What is cool about Tropical Point is that you can get a lot of different stuff to eat, and it's relatively cheap. They're always open, just like Vegas, and you can be assured of good food and friendly service. I sound like the freakin' Michelin guide or something. Anyways, these pictures were taken on one of my first visits to Tropical Point, and definitely the first time with Amy, who was there to meet Boris. So Melrose Place.... Also, I got one of my first tastes of moonshine, uh, I mean Aguardente. Aguardente is this really strong alcohol (I don't even know if it falls in a certain category, like brandy, vodka, etc.) that clears your sinuses by the smell alone. Oy vay. What's funny is when you're drunk, you can drink that stuff real easy. But sober, uh uh. Also, I think I was introduced to Alcatra that night, which is the best beef or chicken stew that you've ever tasted. It does depend on where you go - Tropical Point's was alright, Quinta da Martelo's was OUTRAGEOUSLY good, and A Ilha's was very good most days (other days, not so good).
