November 22nd, 2010
I would have thought this week-end would have been a quiet one. I was quite surprised to see the parkings at all the outlets on Highway 1 completely full. But, how could they not be? The holiday shopping season is starting earlier and earlier every year.
I really don’t get too much into it. I love celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday and taking it one step at a time. This past week we had a beautiful foggy morning and it made appreciate the beaches so much more at this time of the year.
I got an e-mail from Cafe Sole. I really enjoy going to this restaurant. It is cozy, whimsical and the food is great. They are located on 44 Baltimore Ave. During our Second Season at the beaches they open from Wednesdays through Sundays for lunch and dinner. The telephone is 302-227-7107 and the website is www.rehoboth.com/cafesole.
This is what they will be offering on this upcoming holiday plus the winter specials.

Saturdays – Steak & Crabcake Dinner for $20.10.

The Independent Film Festival had a great turn out. Actually, it was a record setting one with about 18,434 tickets sold. Next year’s festival will be taking place from November 9th until November 13.
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society has on going events throughout the year. Their mission is to promote the art of film, to entertain and educate.
As part of their series Around the World, which are presented in partnership with the Lewes Library and Movies at Midway, on Wednesday, December 1st, at 7:00 p.m. Only When I Dance will be featured at the upstairs screening room, at Movies at Midway.
It is FREE. This documentary follows two teenagers, Irian and Isabela, as they strive to realize an extraordinary dream. One girl, one boy; both black and poor, living in one of the most violent favelas on the outskirts of Rio, Irlan and Isabela want to dance ballet, and their ambition is to leave Brazil to join one of the great companies in North America.
For them, dance is the way out, an escape from their challenging lives in Rio. Being on stage brings them to a state of ecstasy that is rarely found in their day to day lives.
The question is: can they make it? Only When I Dance is about chasing a dream to dance the most perfect dance against all the odds of race and of circumstance. And, of course, the price you must pay for talent, ambition and success.
It runs 78 minutes, not rated and it is in Portuguese with English subtitles.

My dog, Addy, is a frequent visitor and I personally recommend them. Their tel. is 302-644-8200. Their website is www.doggiesatthebeach.com. Please check it out since it is much more than boarding.
