Final Food Frontiers... 20/21 January

Jan 20
Lunch- Getting back from a 3 hour and four mile hike with two other families and there strollers, all I wanted was to sit in the sauna. And build myself a formidable pb&j thick on the peanut butter, which I promptly did and washed it down with some warm water from the teapot.

Overall: Great food all served by tall goofy looking guy with a dry sense of humor, we had quite the enjoyable conversation (although he did seem to stare a lot).Poor dimwitted fool.

Dinner- I know that you don’t hear it much from me (though it’s a rather common event), so relish the moment as I say that I made a mistake. I had another McDs burger that tasted nasty, but it was late and my patience was thin. So I compensated myself by eating it on the beautiful pool deck.

Lunch- The nice thing about have to boil the water to be able to drink it is that you always have hot water available to fill the noodle bowls. So I had that.

Dinner- We went back to the Italian place this time with friends from the travel group. Most dishes were the same but those that changed I tried. They consisted of cheese fritters, calamari fritti, sole fillet, grilled short rib, and whole steamed shrimp.
