I am excited to announce that Sweet Undertone has been featured in “Voyage Jacksonville Magazine” in their Inspiring Stories series 😃
Baseball Game
A week after my arrival I had the opportunity to go see a baseball game. I am neither a great sportsman (alas) nor even very interested, but since it is not something that I would do by myself, it was an opportunity to seize.
You can already see that we had rather good places (and as a bonus before the game we had access to a “all you can eat” buffet, and then, the atmosphere is frankly nice! It would almost make you want to to return, in fact I am not against it at all!

(from the buffet ^^)
On the other hand there is almost more action in the public than on the field, baseball is a bit “soft” in a way… They may be pro but they do not often touch the ball lol, there is the most suspense when the ball goes out in the public or lands on the roofs and/or in the nets and everyone follows it to see where it falls.
But the atmosphere is maintained, there are announcements, small games, and even tributes (to the military or nurses present for example) at each break. I had a very good evening and maybe next time I will see a football game, although I’m a little afraid that the atmosphere will be a little less relaxed ^^
It’s not good quality (especially when I was testing Snapchat oops), but it’s to show you the atmosphere a little bit.
Army shop
One of my last days in Florida I stopped by at an army shop-surplus, and I took some pictures I kept aside to share them here… and I realise I never did. No big difference with a French one, except for the “sexy” mannequin out side and the size of it (once again).
Five Points
Five Points is a small “vintage” neighborhood of Jacksonville, with its distinctive restaurants and boutiques. It is also in Five Points that I usually refill with original cards for my special one.
You can find a list of the shops here.
The shop 5 Points Antiques is quite fun:
You can also take a break and observe the squirrels (they are all over Jacksonville!) at Riverside Park.
The Cummer Museum (see previous article) is located near this neighborhood.
Cummer Museum
I went back to Cummer Museum (with my mother but it was her first time of course) and good plan, as a student (officially, I’m not anymore, but my card is valid until 2017!) my entry was free.
Every Tuesday evening (16h-21h), the entry is also free for all.
As we arrived in the morning at the museum and we wanted to embark on a late afternoon shopping in San Marco, we had lunch at the museum café (open all day but closes one hour before the museum itself) and truthfully, I still drool over thinking about this salad. I think it was all in the seasoning but we absolutely enjoyed it – this is also why my plate is already well underway on the photo, I forgot and I rarely am so thrown on a plate!
And this time I saw the gardens! They were closed when I came at night in December. It’s beautiful! At the edge of the river… I want a garden like that one day (well except that I will live in a rotten shack in the forest in the mountains with my husband but it’s not the subject).
No comment 😅
