Orlando

Orlando trip report from 24-27 January 2025. (Written six months after the fact, so some details are hazy.)


Contents


Day 1: Exploring

PANNA. Delicious Venezuelan food with an American flag in mine for joking (hazing) purposes.

Winter Park. A wealthy, beautiful city with shops and people to match the status. Italian food for lunch, gelato for dessert, and a verdauungsspaziergang to wash it all down. Backseat car nap on the way back.

Homemade empanadas filled with cheese and chicken by yours truly. A nightcap of Glenfiddich 15 I had gifted for Christmas a month earlier.

A late night bike ride around the neighborhood.


Day 2: Birthday

A long out-and-back bike ride in beautiful weather, including an uneven sidewalk that tore a tendon in my shoulder when I ran into it.

More homemade foods in preparation for a birthday.

A vivacious party full of friends and family and parrilla.


Day 3: Disney

Magic Kingdom in all of its glory. A castle that looked way bigger in pictures. Tron gave me nausea. Space Mountain exacerbated it. Some overpriced hot dogs made it better. A comedy show for the family. Peter Pan. It's a Small World. Some tropical singing parrot ride. Swiss Family Robinson treehouse. Pineapple ice cream.

EPCOT and a multitude of countries: Mexico for tequila and tacos, Germany for beer, France for an entree and dessert. Fireworks that lit up the sky.


Day 4: Recovery

More PANNA.

Relaxing out in the sun reading.
