Tacos and Rainbows

I had a great post in draft form and then my Internet cut out… pooey! Plan B: use the iPhone to create a blog post so I don't fail my personal challenge of one blog post/day.

Today I woke up as UNusual as possible, after snagging a full 8 hours of sleep! That's practically unheard of in LO-land. I went to work and watched as the skies turned from sunny and clear to slate gray and overcast. After work I went with Dave, Victor, Tyler, and Max to El Torito's Taco Tuesday. We haven't been in a while and it was nice to get out there... We grabbed a table right against the window with a prime bay view. The water below us was crashing in a miniature pool, creating the most beautiful green sea foam -> sea foam green! A rainbow popped up a couple of minutes before we left...

Fuse Lounge Happy Hour

Via Monterey County Weekly's website, I heard of the happy hour offered Wednesday and Thursday nights at Fuse Lounge Cafe at Carmel Mission Inn (3665 Rio Rd, Carmel). Get ready for this: complementary gourmet seafood buffet with adult beverage purchase.

Natalie, Sarah, and I ordered beer, each $5. Then we made our way over to the spread of seafood dishes. Have a looksie:

 

Seafood risotto and angel hair pasta with calamari. 

There were a bunch of old people there that day because the Carmel Chamber of Commerce was having an open meeting or something like that. We decided to sit at one of their booths, mostly because it reminded of us of the VIP areas in Veags. I'm sure all the chamber people totally wished they were us. Tyler joined us for dinner and our after dinner festivities. 

From there we headed to Ocean Avenue in Carmel for some Cottage of Sweets treats! Read more here...
