This year I was very graciously invited to attend my first ever #SOBEWFF , specifically the Goya Grand Tasting Village! The event was situated right on the sand in the heart of South Beach on 13th Street, & the weather was perfect!

Have a look at some of the fun pics I captured with my friend and creative writer Yvette M. Calleiro,  author of fantasy fiction series The Chronicles of the Diasodz.

Needless to say, I had the most fun sampling my custom Coke floats & illy coffees! :))

Goya Grand Entrance

Awesome sand sculpture in the middle of the village!

Back in time to a classic old-fashioned soda shoppe! This was my favorite :))

These outdoor sofas were actually inflatables!

Special thanks to Food Network, Cooking Channel, Food & Wine, Goya, Southern Wine & Spirits, & FIU for their grand hospitality.
