My good friend Liana Evans now lives in New Orleans and told me about the multi-location Tropical Isle on Burbon St. in New Orleans. We visited two locations, one at 421 Burbon St. and the second at the corner of Burbon and Orleans St. Just like in their name Tropical Isle restaurants have the tropical themed décor made up of colorful lighting and a fun atmosphere.

The signature drink here is a Hand grenade and after you pull the “pin” out you can practice your throw and toss it into this basket.

Great music and the artists very involved with the audience and finding what they enjoy and playing it. In New Orleans you feel a nice sense of welcome and Tropical Isle does it a step further. Many of the customers looked like local with a mix of tourists and most certainly a place that many had sought out rather than just chancing upon the place by surprise. As for me I was fighting a Shark Attack.

Transumanza means "crossing the land." It's the nearly disappearing, twice yearly migration of cows and sheep from winter-appropriate lowlands to cooler, high-altitude, lush pastures and back again. It has the full support of the Italian government. Each cow has ID "papers" to make this journey—number, date of birth, and health information including vaccines.
It’s not exactly like the cattle drive in the popular American film “City Slickers,” starring Billy Crystal and Jack Palance. There are no Italian cowboys on horseback to herd the cattle—only men on foot both herding and shepherding hundreds of cows up and down hills, through pastures, gorges, valleys, refuges, glens of trees, rural villages and towns, and even down paved two-lane roads.
