Day 14: in which the day revolves around food and sleep

 This was a sloooooow day today after yesterday's excitement.  All three of us were quite exhausted, so there was much lounging and some napping happened.  At one point, Denise went out to pick up a few things, and even came back with chocolate but I've been told none of it is for me.

Our big outing was at 5pm for an early dinner at No 88.  Again, the amazing manager, Karen, organized a meal I could eat.  It was very tasty but if I have to pick a meal, I would have last week's again, and again, and again.  It's too bad I'm not here another Thursday to go back!

To further extol on the virtues of Karen, she kept stopping to check in or to talk with us, despite having a full house and an anniversary party in the upstairs event room.  I'm not sure how the woman does it all, but she does it all very well. We never once had the feeling we were being rushed, or taking up her precious time.  She's just a friendly, lovely person, in exactly the right job.  Kuddos to Karen, staff, and the kitchen!

I had beef this week, as opposed to last week's lamb, ice cream, and, of course, really good coffee.

Denise had lamb, but Laura had the beef like I did.  Desert was the same poached pear and passion fruit sorbet the ladies had last week.  The desert lasted all of about five minutes.  Denise also discovered rhubarb and ginger gin, which sent Laura down the rabbit hole of where we can get in once back in Canada.  We found out the LCBO in Collingwood carries it!

 Laura had an espresso martini.  It's coffee in a new way for her.  In case we forgot for a moment where we were, there was a huge map behind Laura to remind us.

We toodled home and noticed a few stores staying open late to take advantage of the crowds from the Tall Ships. Some of the crew members have to wear their dress uniforms when on shore, so we could always tell who was on leave.

Tonight there will be music from Victoria Pier, which we will listen to with our windows open.
