He encouraged me to spend some time away today. So, sandwiched in between bank appointments, I ventured into the city. Just me and my thoughts and my raincoat. It rained the whole time and it didn't bother me one bit.
With lots of maps and a little luck I found a coffee shop I'd seen online and wanted to try: Kaffeine. I ordered a Cafe Americano (I know, I know! But it's good!) and then asked the cashier what she would recommend in the way of a sandwich. All I heard was "brie" and I was ready to try it. I think the rest of the ingredients were sliced roasted lamb, spinach leaves and some kind of plum dressing... basically a little slice of heaven on Foccacia bread. I'm telling you people, it changed my life: September 9th, 2013, the day I ate some heaven. So I sat and read a paper and enjoyed my lunch:
And while reading the paper I found this interesting comic... I think I gathered that the young man is worried about an escapee and the concerned train attendant then asks the boy where he's going... but then everyone gets all crazy talking about stookies and haivers! Ay yi yi! I think this perfectly encapsulates the many times the past two weeks I've felt like I was from another planet. The English language can be so very diverse...
After dinner Robert headed downstairs for a conference LTS is hosting today and tomorrow on the life of Noah. I took the girls for an after dinner stroll. It wasn't really raining but the girls wanted FULL rain gear, you know, JUST in case:
And of course we had to share rain boots, even-steven and all. And the cute matching raincoats from Nana (can you tell we try to avoid the clothing arguments when possible?!)
We did somehow manage to find a few decent puddles along the way. The last one was a real winner!
Baths and then bedtime... what a day!
