TWO BROADS....ONE TIRED THE OTHER BOUNCY

You know the word hyperbole?  Well I think Cook and I were casualties of that today.  We read all about a place called Salt, a shopping and eating area named after old timey salt ponds.  Everything we read about the area seemed amazing and alluring.  So we hauled out my laptop and Cook's phone and looked up bus routes that would take us there.

And there we got.  But we couldn't actually find THE place called Salt.  There was a market happening where the bus driver told us to get off so we asked there, after walking around quite a bit looking for it.  So we got directions from a lady and discovered we were still a pretty long way from it.

Finally we started to see murals on walls and I started snapping pics. And finally we saw a not so large building with many little coffee and lunch spots and the occasional little stores.  And that was it.  No big shopping area.  No big awesome stores and shops and milling yuppies, and designer dogs being pushed around in buggies.  I mean it was nice but seriously?  After all the hype and effort to get there.... hmmmm...impressed?  Not so much.

So we humped it back down the road to a bus stop and came back to our room.  We napped and read. What more could one want?  Then we put our shoes on and headed over to Cheesecake Factory and had an amazing meal and then back here and packed and now we are reading.  Good day was had by all. And we are all ready to get the bus to the airport in the morning for a 2:30 plane home.
