The Mysterious AZ trip... part 2!!!!

Needless to say emily's floor was the most comfortable floor ever. I woke up around 11am and couldn't fall back asleep. She had a giant book of american pin-up art. So I layed there on the floor reading that for hours. Emily came out around 1 and we had a half assed whisper conversation. Charmaine woke up soon after that because the dog (isabelle?) was nuzzling at all of her orafaces.
Charla Emily and I went to a cool natural food co-op for lunch. They had the best vegan pizza (second only to big top in North park). The nachos left alot to be desired though. We had vegan ice cream for desert but it made me gag. The Co-op oddly enough was right across the street from the record store where charmaine got arrested as a kid. I thought it was a neat kind of ironic foreshadowing, but that was just me.
Emily had to pack, and me and char had to get to her grandparents so we seperated from emily after lunch. I'm convinced that at this point the temperature dropped twenty degrees. But in reality it was still only like 45-50 outside. Charmaines grandparents house is fun. Alot like my grandparents on my moms side. I could sit there for hours just daydreaming about a pint sized charmaine running around that house. Helping that delusion is her 5 yr old cousin, zachary, was running around the whole time, being a typical 5yr old that is staying with grandparents.
A fun thing to watch is how charmaine gets people to go to her restraunts. It's incredibly subtle so you have to pay attention. People treat veganism like it's a religion, like how you'ld be afraid to take a Jewish or musslim person to a pork factory. It's really more like being allergic to mushrooms, you won't go to hell for it, but your going to have unpleasentness.
We got her grandparents to a place called the pink pepper. Both me and her grandfather were looking for a place with a pink sign, and we both were disapointed when there wasn't. The food was alright, nothing to spectacular. The Tofu dish I got tasted alot like cafe india. Combine that with the pizza for lunch and I ate WAY to much.
