Jun. 18th, 2011 08:23 pmToday was one of those stir crazy days. Ben had to take me for a walk to calm my anxiety.
We decided to go on an adventure in Alexandria. First we went to the Green Olive chinese buffet for lunch. The food was average, the selection was very good, and the price was decent. I definitely ate my fill though.
They had tiny octopi at the buffet. Poor little things! They looked cute even in death. I have no clue how anyone could eat them.
After lunch, we dropped the car off at the king's street metro station and took the free trolly to the old town waterfront. We didn't actually have a lot of time to look around though. We did a little bit of shopping, but nothing else.
We found a gem store just off the main road. I bought myself a chunk of bismuth. It's very pretty.
We also stopped at a comic book store where ben was able to get the latest tpb of Walking Dead. It was a very tiny store and it was totally packed with people. Made me feel a little claustrophobic.
Then we stopped at a book store where I got a Diane Wynn Jones novel. I am looking forward to reading it. I have never read anything outside her howl's moving castle series.
And then we were back to the car! Which thankfully didn't have a ticket. I was concerned because the signs at the metro for the meters were not very clear. But our gamble was correct and we didn't need to pay on weekends. Woo!
When we got home, ben immediately crashed for a nap. I am bored when he sleeps. I did some cleaning and other chores though, so that's good at least. I might make dinner soon. I don't know when ben will wake up, but I am starting to get hungry.
