Today was our last day in Oceanside. We are going to caravan down to DC after lunch. Our last meal was Portabella mushroom "burgers" with onions, Munster cheese, lettuce & tomato. They were great. Many thanks to Bert & Pam for putting up with a house full of people. Things should be a little calmer for for them, at least till next time...
We left around 12:30 & were hoping to hit Brian & Karin's around 5:00 or so but the traffic in the New York area was stop & go. Somehow we managed to miss the rush hour traffic around Baltimore & Washington so overall it wasn't too bad a trip, although I will never get used to "big city" driving. Two lanes & a couple of hundred feet between cars is the way to go!
Karin & Brian are still moving into their new apartment. It is a interesting place - even though it is a fairly large 4 story apartment building, it is built & runs on ecologically sound principles. The floors in the apartments & hallways are bamboo, the heating & cooling is a Ground source HVAC system, and a general attitude that includes serious recycling and sustainable living.
I had a Gyro for dinner made at the "The Middle Eastern Cuisine & Market" restaurant, a favorite of Brian & Karins - not the same as a Greek Gyro, but interesting. They also had iced tea that was spiced with cloves (and maybe some other stuff) that was an interesting surprise. I liked it - much preferred to sugar & lemon.
