On Tuesday morning we got up and went to the beach, as it was Danielle & Devin's last day. We spent about an hour there splashing around, then a huge storm started rolling in. It was the loudest thunder I'd ever heard! Lightening, torrential rain...now it's still cloudy but not too bad. We just ate lunch with them, and they took off to head back to New York.
We ended up hanging out at the hotel for a while, then I decided I wanted ice cream so we walked down the street to where the liquor store's located, because we saw a little restaurant called Mango that advertised ice cream. Unfortunately, it was closed. We checked out the directory and saw a gourmet grocery store listed, so went and checked it out. It was the nicest grocery store I've ever been in! It had all organic stuff, tons of the brands we buy at Ray's in McKinleyville (though way more expensive), lots of stuff from Europe (chocolates...truffles...), and expensive fresh produce. One pomegranate was $7.35! Whoa! Adam got a little sandwich for 8 bucks, and I was too sticker shocked I just got some stuff to make later: some whole wheat pasta with spicy marinara sauce, some Belgian Chocolate Truffles that I'd actually had before, from my old roommate Nikki. They are delicious. I'm going to buy at least another box or two to take home. It's only 9:30 AM when I'm writing this but I'm dying to have one now. We also bought a star fruit, which I can't find anywhere in Humboldt, and a banana snapple for me and an apple snapple for Adam. So good! Too bad the first ingredient was high fructose corn syrup. Yuck.
When we got back it started thundering and lightening some more. We spent the night just hanging out!
My feet & the view
Exercise shirt: proof I exercised
Before we headed out to the store
Me and some trees!
