Coming up...ZORA!!!


The 20th (can you believe it!) Zora Neale Hurston Festival starts this week. There will be all sorts of events, and the end is a street party festival along Kennedy Blvd. this next weekend. My guests are very excited about walking down the street to go to it...only 1/2 mile from Thurston House. It should be fabulous!

New at the Enzian Theater!



We are very fortunate to have a special theater just minutes away from Thurston House, bed & breakfast. It is the Enzian Theater, an independent movie house. Recently there has been a wonderful new addition, the Eden Bar. It is an outside patio bar that offers Austrian specials on the menu. Try their new Austrian wines and beers, a great way to start your evening before going inside to watch a movie, or to relax after a great film. We were just there last night to see the movie MILK, excellent and thought provoking! This theater is also home to the Florida Film Festival, this year held 3/27-4/5.

Happy Holidays All!

Merry Christmas Eve Day! I hope everyone can take time to reflect, take a deep breath and do something just for "you"! We are continuing our tradition of heading over the the Morse Museum in Winter Park to view the Tiffany collections this afternoon. They open this day free to the public every year, a thank you to all. Enjoy - whatever you find yourself doing! We'll end our day sitting on our beautiful Thurston House porch, enjoying time with guests.
