I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers

A bit of history tell us that the first Casino de Deauville,was built in 1864, closed its doors in 1889 owned by the Caisse de Deauville, and was sold in 1893 to Edmond Blanc which destroyed it two years later to build a housing project that was not carried out, The construction of the casino begins in June 1911 , after the Grand Hotel du Casino was destroyed, The painter Fernand Truffaut produced the forefront curtain of the theater representing the old room of ambassadors in Paris. Au Printemps and Van Den Haker stores provide furniture and carpets , the casino was completed in 1912, It was not until the 1970s, that side shops were built. In 1928, a new decor for the Boule Café, decorated with a triptych. It was probably at the time that cinema replaced the Grill-Room. In 1951, the facade on the sea allowing the development of a transverse gallery connecting the two restaurants housed in each of the rotundas. Significant modifications were made between 1991 and 1993: transfer of the main entrance under the terrace, enlargement of the old entrance by a canopy cantoned with columns. At the same period, the Parisian interior architect Jacques Garcia reorganizes interior spaces: he adorned certain rooms of a new decor and replaces the furniture. He also intervened in 1999 for the decor of play rooms and traffic axes.
