Coming into the home stretch...

kumir_k9of the first week of vacation. Thank goodness there's a second week. I'm just reaching the point where I'm starting to unwind. Jumping back into the regular work routine now would feel as if I never left.
Last night, Monique and I went out to a restaraunt we'd never tried before. It's called the Sunset Ocean Front Cafe and it was absolutely delightful. Most of the restaurant is on this huuuuuge porch overlooking the Banana River. Of course, the Banana River isn't so much a river as an inlet, so it's essentially ocean front. The rest of the tables are on the docks and you are literally within 4 feet of water. We were fortunate enough to get one of these tables. From where I was sitting I was able to throw food to this swarming horde of giant catfish, not that I did that constantly throughout my dinner or anything.
There was a guitarist singing and playing. He was playing stuff from James Taylor, John Denver and all sorts of artists from that same rough time period. He was excellent.
The food was primarily steak / seafood and was plentiful, delicious and well priced. And they had pecan pie (Monique's favorite) and authentic key lime pie (my favorite). The whole evening was a total win. We will definitely revisit this one.
Today was the first time I actually set foot on the beach. As I've said before, for me the ocean is all about the senses. I love to see it, hear it and smell it, but if I can touch it or taste it, I'm too close. However, this morning I had an urge to go walk the beach. I spent about 45 minutes all told. It was really quite lovely and I will probably do it again.
Have fun all at your various LARPs this weekend (Ravenholt and Endgame, I think). I will be thinking of you.
