Ahoy!
December 2nd, 2004It’s easy for me to forget that I live near the ocean now.
How awesome is that?
Last night we drove over to the coast for dinner. We didn’t head out until almost 7pm, so it was too dark for the scenic drive through the mountains to be, well, scenic. We had a hilarious loaner car because Arlo’s car is in the shop, but it was downright arctic with the top down so instead it just felt like we were crammed into a teeny tiny car.
The restaurant we picked was a total dive. Arlo’s halibut was undercooked and unpleasant. I still have this freaking cold so I coughed through the whole dinner.
And of course, it was too dark to really see the damn ocean. Here’s the view we had from the car, since it was too chilly to get out and walk on the beach. Plus, I was wearing leather boots and a skirt. And I’m still sick.
Sounds like a pretty miserable night, eh?
Well, it wasn’t. It was great. Just me and my sweetie. Living in California. Hopping in the car for an impromptu evening at the coast.
Excellent stuff.
