Entry for January 19, 2007

I figured if I put up a nice picture of us, maybe people wouldn't scroll down to the humiliating one below?  (I know, I know, no one forced me to put it there.)  This was taken last week at a tourist trap restaurant called Blue Shrimp where you have a choice between shrimp the size of prawns, shrimp the size of lobster tails, and shrimp that could eat the Loch Ness Monster.  Then they send around photographers to charge you for photos and strolling musicians who want money before they'll play you a tune.  It was an enormous waste of money (I can't believe this was on the top of the list of recommended restaurants!) but the shrimp were delicious and we got a good photo out of it.  I must say, it feels strange sometimes to be in this tourist-filled vacation spot and be sitting inside our dining room, now an office, tapping away at our computers all day (except when we're gliding down zip lines or battling monster shrimp).  But the doors are open, the warm air and view are spectacular, and it costs less than a crummy hotel at Dulles airport, so who's complaining?
