I was a bit neglectful and missed my post yesterday – apologies! Being home is lovely but my schedule is way out of whack!

Last night I met some of my old friends from my time as a Borders Bookstore employee for a sushi dinner. The suburb of Cleveland that I live in is pretty blah in terms of restaurants but there is one sushi place that I just love. I think it’s my favorite sushi place of anywhere actually! The sushi is really delicious and their drinks are always so so good – nice and boozy :O).

My little sis came along too and we were there first, so we started with a cocktail while we waited for the others.

I ordered a Mango Vanilla Margarita which actually sounded a bit better than it tasted. I looove margaritas but I think they’re best unfussy. That’s what I get for being adventurous :O).

And then came the sushi. The four of us just ordered a bunch and shared.

We had a shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, Philadelphia and Little Delicious rolls. The Little Delicious was soooo yummy but it had a lot of elements and I’m afraid I don’t remember them all! We also had a sampler of  crab, mackerel, eel and yellow fin tuna. After so much turkey it was a nice break to eat something totally different. Yummm.

After dinner Louisa and I drove downtown for a glass of wine at my fave Cleveland wine bar which was quite the adventure! Apparently I lost all sense of direction in my year away.

So today is my last day in town before an early flight out tomorrow morning. I met up with my last friend I needed to see this morning so now I can just relax and enjoy a little family time before I take off. My dad is making a paella tonight which is my fave thing he makes :O). So expect some pretty pics of that soon!

I’ll see you back in DC.
