Lone Survivor Book Review

I received some great advice from a good friend about this book, he told me to take my time reading it and really enjoy it. Thank God I did.

Marcus Luttrell is a Navy SEAL and an American hero. He nearly died for our country and lived to tell about. He was part of a four man SEAL team that went into the Hindu Kush mountains with the goal of finding (and possible killing) a high ranking Taliban official. Seven days later, he was the only one left. Friends die in his arms, he is shot, blown up, and beaten. He is taken in by an Afghani town and their courage and hospitality are truly remarkable. I strongly recommend reading the book. You can get it here for twenty bucks....WORTH IT!!!

I would write more about it, but I really feel that I have already spoiled too much. Despite what you may think about our recent wars, always remember that real people must fight them. The heroes of SEAL team 10 paid the ultimate price for our freedom, their story is amazing.


I have a few ideas for you.

Food has always been an important part of my life. My family likes to cook and I like to eat. When I go away for the season, I always search for new places to eat. If you are in Jupiter for a weekend to see some baseball, here is where you should go.

1. Little Moir's Food Shack or Leftovers Cafe

-Both restaurants serve the same type of food (they are both "Little Moir's Restaurants"). Fresh seafood prepared with seasonal, local ingredients. Fish is caught daily in the Atlantic, then cooked to your liking that night. You simply can't find better seafood in this area. I know, I have looked. The places are a bit pricey, but worth it, I think the entree that I always get, the sweet potato crusted fish over greens, is around $27.

Here are the addresses. Get there early, like 5PM early, because you will be fighting the masses to get in after that.

Food Shack - 103 S US Hwy 1, Jupiter, FL 33477-5132
Leftovers Cafe - 451 University Blvd. Jupiter, Florida 33458

2. Vic & Angelo's

Vic & Angelo's offers home made pasta and the best chicken wing appetizer around. Again, a bit pricey, I think the wing appetizer is like $15, but worth every penny. I don't like writing about the wings because it makes me want to eat them. The home made pasta is amazing, and if on the day you are going they have the lobster risotto special...GET IT!!!!!!

Their address is 4520 PGA Blvd Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418
