Sandra and Rachel are hosting April "Food for Thought":
(1) decided not to attempt Viva La Frida because the restuarant is up for sale and might not be there for us to visit in April,
(2) looked into some other Latin restaurant options in Tampa and Brandon,
(3) finally decided to look into either Ceviche Tapas Restaurant in St. Petersburg at the Ponce De Leon Hotel or the sister retaurant in South Tampa (same owners) for a Saturday trip with added cultural actvities (trip to museum, trip to Pier, walking tour of historic district, etc.) instead of usual Friday event
