Plumeria

While seated on the patio at Rumfish Y Vino this plant reminded me of our Madagascar Palm. It also reminded me a bit of frangipani. Turns out they are all members of the Apocynaceae plant family. My phone identified the above as Plumeria, which is both a genus of that family and an alternative name for frangipani. The name also honors the French botanist Charles Plumier (1646-1704). All this can get a little confusing but the main thing is that these are beautiful tropical plants that will bring you enjoyment if you let them.

Way, way back in the depths of my mind I remember that popping thing that rolls the die. It took a few days however for that memory to well up from the depths.

Noe's revisited

It just so happens that we sat in the same place I did on my very first visit - the time when the table famously vibrated - except that this time the table didn't seem to vibrate. The veggie omelet however remained as delicious as before.

Reframe theory

We put the theory to the test and it worked: Reframe Bistro works wonderfully as a coffee house, especially its peaceful patio.
