Started off the day starving. My visiting friend, Sandra didn't wake up until 11:30 and I woke up at 9 so I had a few hours to be hungry with before we went to Kerby Lane for what ended up being lunch.
I had their veggie burger with avocado and mozzarella. It was good.
Then we drove around aimlessly for awhile, saw some scenic areas by way of choosing where to turn on whim. We eventually parked on Guadalupe and walked that college area hard core, had some frozen yogurt and went to Toy Joy.
Then rushed to Mount Bonnell before it was fully dark, but it was still too dark for any decent pictures. I wanted to try this place near my house that I found must be another local chain like Kerby Lane since there was one next to KL as well. But it was packed and I wasn't having any of that.
We went to the east side instead and tried this organic farming restaurant, East Side Cafe. They have a garden in the back and a gift shop on the side. As they quote on their menu "We don't grow everything we cook, but we cook everything we grow". I had a blueberry soda that was very happy making and wild mushroom crepes that had a tomato sauce and a nut of some kind with ricotta and jack cheese. The taste was almost not to my liking, to be honest, and I don't know quite why, but the side of acorn squash that was topped with ginger soy sauce and the jalapeno cornbread muffin they gave with my spicy tomato soup (highlight!), lessened the taste or texture of whatever was bothersome.
We walked up and down the 6th street area without actually going into any bars. It was more of a people watching venture and a chance to chat. I was already ready to fall asleep after eating, so we came back to the house just as Kristie and her friend from out of town were getting ready to go downtown clubbing. They were already fairly tipsy, but Ran apparently either volunteered or was hoodwinked as chaperon for the night.
