Get your eat on!

The girls and I ventured off post today. We left the hotel around 8:30. Hung a right and walked until we made it into town.

We ended up walking around for an hour. The shops didn't open until 10. This was a picture from a side street. We were hitting the streets for an hour trying to kill some time.

We were desperately seeking a place to eat lunch .We had been up since 430 and nothing seemed to be open. We were beating the street for an hour waiting.

As we were going through the checkout stand at a little corner grocery, I faced my first language barrier. I was having a difficult time figuring out what the cashier wanted when a woman behind me spoke up and pointed to the bill in my wallet. We waited outside of the store for her, hopping she had a recommendation on a place to eat. We were very lucky, she walked us to a restaurant that she often frequents. Her name was Paige and she was here teaching ESL. She was from Canada and had a roommate that was from Oregon.

We were thrilled with our lunch, it was wonderful. The girls had a great time.

At 7 pm we dragged ourselves to the bed and passed out. I love these kind of days!
