Tampa - Ybor City

Definitely an enjoyable and very different part of Tampa...... we only went in the daytime and evidently night time is when it comes alive... we certainly enjoyed a walk around to see the architecture and the remnants of the booming cigar business.... demonstrations of cigar rolling going on in several shops......  The original Columbia Restaurant is in this part of town as well....





 This is the bakery called La Segunda Central.... no dining tables but plenty of folks picking up their lunch on FABULOUS bread.... YUmmy!


 Probably their most famous sandwich.... but as long as the bread is used you can't go wrong!

They were able to do it twice, so that probably helped!   If you have a Park to Park ticket you can ride the Hogwarts Express.... they loved it.... Of COURSE a butterbeer was required drinking..... View as we arrived by boat from our hotel... a nice feature if you are staying on the property....  The other granddaughter's favorite was the Gringott's ride but she loved EVERYTHING that was Harry Potter associated..... it was well done, other than the ride in Hogsmeade had a glitch the day we were there so we were stuck for 10 minutes.... luckily we were not in a weird position nor were we staring at something scary..... Big Splashdown at Jurassic Park Ride Performers in Hogsmeade We were prepared for wet rides with alternate shoes, shorts and undies.... also plastic bags to store the wet clothes.... Pronounced LAME by our two.... we cannot comment... we did not go! ...
