Pretending to be on vacation



The cow and I roamed around on Saturday like a couple of tourists. I know the pictures are pitiful - these are the only once I remembered to take. I was having such a good time living in the moment I did not feel the need to photograph much.
We slept in, drank coffee and read the newspaper. We tried a pilates routine that works your core muscle (aka-stomach)...the cow hates this. We then showered and went downtown. We shopped at Anthropologie and Nau and went to an art opening of Matthew Picton New Works in the pearl - geography/cartography with a spin. The streetcar took us up to North 45 where we had Stout Mussels (stout, garlic, thyme and bitter cocoa), frites, beer and wine. We walked around NW23rd and then decided it was time to move to the eastside. We attempted to go to the new brewery- Green Dragon but it was packed so we walked across the street to the Morrison Hotel. The bartender whipped up a mean sidecar and they had an amazing list of beers.
Our last stop was a romantic evening at Navarre. We had not dined here before and was very satisfied with the Spanish style small plates and atmosphere of being in Madrid.
