The Outer Banks Day 7 (March 25, 2011)

     Dolphins entertained me midway during our morning walk. I took pictures but they were too fast and my trigger finger reaction was too slow. It was very chilly this morning. Nat and I were the only ones on the beach except for a few sandpipers and some seagulls. Later this afternoon the cormorants were out in abundance having a TGIF party with free sushi. Bon appétit!
     I had my last coconut and white chocolate mocha at the Dancing Turtle. I found out what proportions they use so hopefully I can get it duplicated somewhere at home.
     I needed to fill up the gas tank, call my mom and find some food so we headed north around noon. The fresh air has given me a voracious appetite and the scale at home will show me just how much. Today I found a gem of a spot in Buxton. I think it was called the Buxton Munch. I had an interesting tomato soup made with Ro-tel (can’t check the spelling because I have lost my internet.) It was very good. As I neared the bottom of the bowl I discovered bacon which I had to pick out because it’s Friday during Lent and I can’t eat meat. I, also, ordered a crab cake and avocado wrap. Yummy!!!! I brought half back to the cabana. The lunch spot was 60-70’s retro including a poster advertising Woodstock. J
     Dawn at Kaia’s gave me so much more than 20 oz of blue crab dip to take back to Jax!!! She made it this morning. It looks very good. I can’t wait to share it.
     I shut the heat off in the cabana after Nat and I had our walk. I opened the door. I listened to Josh Groban, sat out on the deck in my winter jacket sipping a Bud Lite Lime while watching the waves in the Atlantic. Then it was time to start packing up the van. There will be more to pack in the morning but most of it is done. Before I leave here (if I want my deposit back) I have to strip the bed, put the linens and towels in a bag, remove food items from the fridge and wipe it down and lastly, vacuum. This is a really nice cabana and I have appreciated being here with Natalie but it’s time to go home.
