Poor Cookie because she is with me. I just can't walk as fast or as far or as continuously as she can. It hurts. My feet, my back, my hip....every couple blocks I have to sit down for 30 seconds for everything to align. Then I can go another couple of blocks and then sit and so on and so on.
But she is so very kind about it. She never ever makes comments or makes me feel bad about it. I make myself feel bad about it. I have a distinct feeling that if she were with one of her healthier friends she would be seeing a lot more.
This morning around ten, we walked down Kuhio St. to the end. We had decided that today we would go to the Honolulu Zoo. I have been there a couple of times and its a really nice zoo. We got down to the end and lo and behold....there was the holy grail of all breakfasts...DENNY'S!!!!!!!!!!! And we were hungry! Breakfast time!!!!
In we went and ordered our breakfast from the +55 menu on the back. Mmmmm....omelets, over easy egg, one lonely sausage, biscuit, toast, coffee...delish. What a find!!!!
Right across the street was the zoo. As we walked down toward the entrance Cookie says," We don't have to go to the zoo you know." So I answered, "well, of course we don't." And she says, "I've seen animals before." "So have I" I say. "And look, there's a lineup" she says. That was enough for me. We walked right on past toward the busy ocean! We did take a moment to stop and admire the magnificent banyan tree outside the entrance. But then we just kept walking.
We ended up moseying along, sitting on benches along the way, enjoying the scene and visiting with people. We met a couple from Kentucky and had a nice long chat with them. Eventually we ended up back in our room, changing into bathing suits and heading down to the pool.
We spent part of the afternoon down there soaking up the rays. I got into the freezing cold pool. FREEZING COLD!!!! Cookie did not. She is more delicate.
For supper we wandered down the street a ways to a Japanese food market. This is when I discovered that Cookie is not overly adventuresome with food and is extremely inexperienced with sushi. She ended up getting a little carton of California roll, the most inobnoxious and common sushi roll. I got mackerel (uncleaned like a sardine), sashimi (raw fish pieces) and cones. I tried to get her to eat some of it all but she wouldn't. hahaha!!!! I am trying hard to get her to eat anything except hamburgers! Or big ass sandwiches!
Now we are watching Naked and Afraid. How exciting is that!!!??? The bigger the blur line the happier we are!!!! TTYL
It sounds perfect. I love hearing "The Adventures of Helen and Cookie". Hey, maybe that's another blog!
