Blu Luna

This summer has been a labor of love; with that, this Labor Day weekend was spent at Put-in-Bay island off of Lake Erie known as the Key West of the north to celebrate the end of summer, to me the "summer of Dawn" in grand finale.

Put-in-Bay (PIB) is a party island that one reaches by boat with quaint shops, wineries, night clubs filled with "live" music, bed & breakfasts and the main form of transportation is bicycles and golf carts.

Dawn's friend flew in for the weekend, my friend met us at the island. For Dawn and me it was a weekend escape of culture & another language with international men.

There is a restaurant on the island called the Blu Luna.

A romantic outdoor patio embraced in a floral garden setting with an impressive menu and excellent customer service. Steel-drum island music fills the air in the end of summer sunny atmosphere ... we have arrived!




Different cultures from across the world gather as friends and lovers to not just eat, but to taste. Taste, savor and enjoy the flavor of food in an unrushed escape.

Clinking our cold beer in "Salute!" and "Cheers!"

August 31, 2012 was the official night of the blue moon, defined as blue moon because it is the 2nd full moon in a calendar month. The next one will not come for 2-3 years. The Blu Luna means blue moon. Friday, August 31, 2012 we sat as if unplanned and on purpose in this quaint setting.

I believe in on purpose. I believe in the power of knowing I am exactly where I am supposed to be versus the striking occurrence of two or more events at one time by mere chance.

Blu Luna is international culture in a patio oasis setting that welcomed us perfectly to the island and set the mood for what was to come on the night of the blue moon and our weekend escape.

I simply cannot wait to go back.
