Today I woke up, ate breakfast, went for a quick swim, took a shower, and then went to lunch. We ate lunch today at Porta Porta, which is this small Italian restaurant that serves the ideal 'homemade' Italian meal. The Tuscan bread was soo good. There were three choices for lunch: seafood, meat, or vegetarian. We both got the seafood portion, but I couldn't finish the fried calamari. I'm not a big calamari fan, but the tiramisu was so cute and pretty good.
Non-American pastries are so much better than American pastries. Anyways, after lunch we went to look at several places. My company wants to change the location of the office (because it is quite small). The first place was very run down but very large (4000 sq ft). I liked how spacious it was. The third place was enormous (64,000 sq ft for one of the businesses, not my company) and the third was very cluttered (because the people still did not move out yet) and low ceilings. I also ran by a place called Pho 99.
Yesterday, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant called Le Viet, and the server didn't even speak Vietnamese. I was like...oh I am definitely not going to order Banh Beo (which I've been craving for years now) Nha Trang style - not Nam style. Anyways, I was relieved to hear Vietnamese being spoken back to me, even if it was just in a small little Pho shop. Whew! I will be back in that area sometime. It was nice to hear Vietnamese.
Then we ran ran ran to the office to get some paperwork filled out. Then we came home and ate the most amazing dinner that FM's maternal grandmother made. Everything is eaten by hand, and it was rice cooked with nutmeg, coconut and chicken broth, chili sauce, chicken wings, sour soup, and vegetables (which I did not touch). I even drank water. I am so good.
Anyways, it's only 9, but I'm dead tired and going to run into my cozy little guest bed and hopefully not wake up at 7 AM like this morning.
Toodles!
