10 March 2026 Sanford: A Visit With Dr. Schiff

 


After packing up the air mattresses we headed over to breakfast with Mike and Deb.  The Juno Beach Cafe offered up some unique Lebanese items along with the standard breakfast fare.   We drove 2 hours and stopped off in Sebastian Florida to visit Mara.  One year ago we met up in Malta and in Italy, it was a blast!  That year went by fast, but we picked up right where we left off.  We toured her lovely house that is located adjacent to an Ashram, a kind of southeast Asian religious retreat.  Her decorative style reflects this vibe and is quite beautiful.  She brought us to a really nice farm to table themed restaurant.  The farm is really close as there are several fields planted right next to the dining area.  Lunch was great and after returning to her house for a spell, we headed back to Orlando,
