Big Spenda'!
Today I splurged. It's hot out here so I headed to Port Angeles to chill out in the library and beat the heat until later in the day. They didn't open until noon and I was getting hungry so I drove downtown looking for food. I've been in the PNW for a few weeks now and I haven't gone out for seafood yet, though I have eaten some excellent home cooked seafood. I decided to treat myself today so I stopped into a restaurant and on the recommendation of the waitress ordered a crab sandwich and fries.
The fries could have been a little crisper but it was a good meal and quite enjoyable. I'm not used to spending $18 on a sandwich (after tax and tip) but it was worth it. It was nice to sit in a restaurant and be served instead of cooking over my little camp stove and eating in the front seat of my car. Still, I think that's more then I've spent on food in the whole last week.

EIGHTEEN DOLLARS for a SANDWICH?!???
Did it give you a foot massage after lunch, too?
Sheesh.
Well, it did come with fries too and they're one of the most expensive ways to prepare a potato.
I thought about it and the other day I spent $5.25 at McDonald's, which I wrote about.
This sandwich was probably 8 times better, the staff was about 10 times nicer, and the restaurant was about 20 times cleaner. So really, I'd say it was a bargain! :-)
Hey Al the McDonalds here in Estherville as been revamped. It looks Europeon! Can you believe it? It has leather chairs and a fireplace. They also have updated the menu so you can get some healthy items. Things are looking up
