Finding Paradise

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Feb 28, 2015 | Sandy Spain |

This month I had the idea to write about some of my favorite places off the beaten path in our town. The first two are really on a beaten path, but not exactly a path known for restaurants! The first is Ramon’s new place. You are probably familiar with Cocina de Ramon in town and Restaurant Ramon in the Sonoran Sea on Sandy Beach. Well Ramon has nothing to do with those two restaurants any longer. He has a new place! It is the first full service restaurant on Rodeo Drive!

Upside Down or Right Side Up?

Where does the sea end and the sky begin? That’s my question every time I’m upside down.

This isn’t a new sport or a personal pastime of mine; it’s actually called inversion therapy which involves putting your body into a position where your head is lower than your heart.

Therapeutic Waters

Geothermal water is created through the action of the internal heat of the earth. These pools of water are known as Mineral and/or Hot Springs. Their temperatures differ from spring to spring; from tepid to very hot. Geothermal Springs are known for their therapeutic benefits. The mineral and gas contents of the water relieves sore muscles, pain from arthritis, promotes healing, helps detoxify the body and more. Mineral Springs have been used since ancient times. Almost every city in the Roman Empire had at least one bath. Pre-Columbian cultures bathed in thermal springs, the Nahuatl word temazcal means house or temple of steam; Montezuma, ruler of the Aztec Empire, bathed in his own private spa near Tenochtitlan. The ritual was a common practice for medicinal and religious purposes by the indigenous people of the Americas.

Funky to traditional from the smallest accessory to a house full of furniture, sandals, sunglasses, jewelry, ponchos we have it all. Rodeo Drive can brag about their great prices, outstanding customer service and wonderful selection. Now they even have one of the best restaurants in town. Now what more could a person ask for??

Enlightenment

Well I wasn’t ok. I fell asleep 20 miles this side of Sells Az and took a detour through the desert and hit a BIG cactus head on. It fell on the roof of the passenger side and almost crushed it down to the seat. A foot over and it would have gotten me.
