Today's Danish word:
Havregryn = oatmeal
Early this morning, Soren & Birgit left the Island Jewel. I was so sad to see them go. They were wonderful guests who became, I believe, great friends.
Soren and Birgit are driving to Norfolk, where they will catch a flight to Detroit (?!?) and then to New Orleans. I do believe that Soren will shed a tear or two when he turns in his little Pontiac to the car rental agency. It is a spiffy car with all of the bells & whistles (and HORN - hahaha, Soren), and if it were possible, I'm sure the Pontiac would return to Denmark with Soren.
Last night, the four of us went to Owens' Restaurant for dinner after a full day at the beach. We had a great waiter - Josh. It was funny ..... after we sat down and were served our drinks, I said to Josh, "I'm-gonna-talk-really-fast-so-they-can't-understand-me-give-me-the-bill-after-dinner." It worked! Both Soren and Birgit looked a little confused at my machine gun verbal assualt on Josh, but they didn't pick up a word I said. LoL
As usual, the dinner was lovely, although too much food. We all ordered different seafood platters, so that we could sample a little of everything. There were crabcakes, Oysters Rockefeller, broiled & fried scallops, broiled and fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, flounder, lump crabmeat, calamari, and clams.
Today, Susie & I are going to start packing up. Severe storms are forecast for the day, but it is bright and sunny now. We will need to pack between stints at the pool and beach!
I'll try and make another entry this evening, but if not, I may be incommunicado until my return to Iowa.
