		<description><![CDATA[In Florida, there's some bodies of water where swimming isn't recommended.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After hopping around Asia and Europe, I didn&#8217;t have much time at home before my day job took me down to Florida.  The client has a large campus in the Tampa area.  On the walk back from lunch, we stopped by the pond for a moment.</p>
<p><a href="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_tampa_swamp.jpg" title="DI_20080318_Tampa_swamp.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-1638];player=img;"><img src="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_tampa_swamp.jpg" alt="DI_20080318_Tampa_swamp.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The sign was intriguing.  We didn&#8217;t actually see any alligators.  We weren&#8217;t even sure that we saw any bubbles coming up to the surface.</p>
<p><a href="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_tampa_swamp_alligators.jpg" title="DI_20080318_Tampa_swamp_alligators.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-1638];player=img;"><img src="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_tampa_swamp_alligators.jpg" alt="DI_20080318_Tampa_swamp_alligators.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>A fringe benefit of Florida travel can be a nice <a href="http://embassysuites1.hilton.com/en_US/es/hotel/TPAFLES-Embassy-Suites-Tampa-Airport-Westshore-Florida/index.do" title="embassysuites1.hilton.com/en_US/es/hotel/TPAFLES-Embassy-Suites-Tampa-Airport-Westshore-Florida/index.do">hotel outdoor pool</a>.  There are fewer risks than swimming in the ocean, or no risks of encountering reptiles.  I made it a point to take laps in the late afternoon.<span id="more-1638"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080408_tampa_embassy_suites_pool.jpg" title="DI_20080408_Tampa_Embassy_Suites_pool.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-1638];player=img;"><img src="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080408_tampa_embassy_suites_pool.jpg" alt="DI_20080408_Tampa_Embassy_Suites_pool.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>In a theme of trying out local cuisine, I suggested to Greg, Joanne and Ray that we try <a href="http://www.naval.com/blackbeans/" title="naval.com/blackbeans/">Black Beans  Cuban  Bar and Grill</a>.  The atmosphere was relaxed, the servers was friendly, and the portions were more than each of us could finish.</p>
<p><a href="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_black_beans_cuban_resto_dinner.jpg" title="DI_20080318_Black_Beans_Cuban_resto_dinner.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-1638];player=img;"><img src="http://daviding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/di_20080318_black_beans_cuban_resto_dinner.jpg" alt="DI_20080318_Black_Beans_Cuban_resto_dinner.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>When the weather is cooler up north, it&#8217;s a perk to have a territory that includes warmer climates.  As a bonus, there don&#8217;t seem to be many clients that wear ties down south.</p>
