Our restaurant guide editor, Flora Caraway, had a great and filling time finding all these new and exciting restaurants for you to enjoy. She also put on 25 pounds. The restaurants are all located around the lake and are very easy to find. If you would like to read what people say, or leave your own comment, please visit our website: www.eatoout.com. Also, you can see the full-length of reviews online for the following restaurants.
Dave’s-on-the Lake (Italian) A stone’s throw from the lake, this newly opened Italian restaurant has all any restaurants could offer, from delicious meatballs to garlic bread and prize-winning wine. The spaghetti carbonara is a must, and the Chianti 55, a famous Italian wine, will go down well on any palate. (味觉)
Espado Cornelio’s (Mexican) With views to die for, this well designed, authentic-style Mexican restaurant is my personal favorite. The fresh fish are caught daily from the lake. The chef had lived and worked for restaurants in the Eldora region in Mexico for 20 years before opening his own restaurant. Seating is mostly outdoor, where you can enjoy the night views and the fresh air coming from the lake as you dine. This is something that is not to be found anywhere else close to the lake. The best of salsa music plays while you eat. It’s the closest I’ve felt to Mexico.

Several types of the fish are available for you as well as a good selection of salads for a healthier choice. Hand-cut chips made from local potatoes make it even more appealing.

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
