Travel and Food

Today we went on a road trip and discovered a Wildlife Preserve and a neat beach. We were going to go biking, but the wind was so strong that it wasn't a good day for it, so we just rode around and walked around. Saw some wild pigs, deer and some neat birds that we are still trying to identify. Pictures to be posted soon. And we ate of course. Today was lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I hate hot spices so usually avoid such places, but I know Andy likes that kind of food so today on a whim I insisted, figuring I should be able to find something on the menu. Well, we had the best meal! Her with her chili peppers and me....sauteed shrimp with onions and rice and a salad, the only thing I couldn't eat was the re-fried beans. And then at the cashier there was a display with all these weird looking Mexican candies, so, being in an adventuresome mood I bought one called candied sweet potato. It was orange and shaped like a half of a sweet potato and wrapped in cellophane. Guess what it tasted like? A sweet sweet potato!!!!!! Mushy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Reminded me of that sweet potato casserole with marsh mellows on the top, you know? I liked it.
