June 9 Sunday Lagos

  • Shaina and Mo agree to join me at GolDig for cappuccino
  • They said they would try the oat milk but no they chickened out and got cow milk
  • Ernie stays home so doesn't witness the surrender
  • This little piggy gets oat milk high in calories and vegan smoked salmon from carrots on home made bagel
  • We do takeout of Golden Latte with oat milk, turmeric and other spices for Ernie
  • Ernie likes it, I think too much turmeric
  • Discuss benefits of the flat peach. Like eating a sandwich so easier and less drip than round one
  • Shaina and Mo didn't do real beach day yesterday, too windy for them
  • We take them to Botato Beach
  • Mo meets his friend from St Louis at entrance to beach path.
  • Coincidence or destiny? Who knows, but old friendship possibly revived.
  • After long reunion, continue our walk at beach
  • Go further than yesterday, through the arches, over the rocks, tide coming in, walking thru water, slipping and holding the cliff edge
  • Another lady who is also 'reaching that age' helps me over the rocks
  • Survive the ordeal only to see a restaurant up top with a staircase down to us
  • It's all about the story
  • Can't proceed anymore, water to high to continue
  • Climb up and walk along upper trail with unbelievable views
  • Shaina and Mo take off on their own
  • Ernie and I look for Alkibar as we promised Ronen.
  • Find Choco Frito instead
  • As we study the menu, who comes out - Christina, Ronen's friend from Calhou restaurant
  • She asks if we remember her from yesterday, of course we do
  • Sylvino and Christina now own a new restaurant (Choco Frito) where Ronen's favorite used to be
  • Coincidence or destiny? Who knows, but too funny not to eat here
  • I try the Caipirinha and monk fish
  • Ernie goes for baby squid, puntillulas and beer
  • AND, they just happen to have the same Mousse de CafĂ© as Calhou, AND Shaina and Mo are NOT here, AND Ernie hates coffee flavor, so I get to eat the whole thing MYSELF!
  • Email Ronen the bad news, favorite restaurant gone, and good news, his friends now own the location
  • Walk back but pass our Airbnb and arrive at big grocery store, Intermarch
  • This is a really big place - we finally find a small collapsible cooler... and stuff for dinner- pasta, chicken, salad, fruit
  • One end has a Burger King - we pass
  • Walk back - I am NOT going out again today
  • Ernie and Shaina make dinner
  • I do dishes
  • Portugal wins Nations League Futbol one to zero against Holland
