You are now the second person to recommend this restaurant, so we checked out their menu at the mall but will probably go to the restaurant downtown for dinner one night before we leave.

Restaurants normally try to have a menu that will cater to everyone. They do eat a lot of sausage though, we have really noticed this in the grocery stores.

Beef and lamb are more expensive. We're not sure why lamb is more expensive though because on our drive yesterday we saw tons of sheep out in the fields but not too many cows.

It is so nice to just walk down the middle of the street and not worry about any vehicles that might run you over. ;-) Lots of people were out on Sunday, it was a beautiful day and everyone was out enjoying it.<br /><br />Yep, the stairs were pretty steep.

We have however been to a number of cities where they seem to have a grip on it because as soon as it appears it is removed and they continue to remove it very quickly each time. There is also more pressure on finding the criminals responsible for it and giving them a harsher punishment. It takes a lot of effort but it has been working in those cities and the graffiti problem has improved greatly. I also believe that is one of the reasons that more cities are doing wall murals as that seems to really help with the problem as well.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51715262259975181652016-11-07T22:52:51.407-05:002016-11-07T22:52:51.407-05:00Looks like a neat town to explore.

What caught my eye was the tripe (cow's stomach) on the menu. When I saw that, it made me go back to my childhood in the 1950s and 1960s. Tripe in the U.S. South back then was a traditional meat (served at least once a week); it was soaked in milk, coated in seasoned flour, and fried. In fact, except for tripe soup, most of the menu could be termed a meal from the U.S. South, if you substitute collards for spinach and baked cornbread and dressing for corn polenta. Based on the menu descriptions and the visuals of their plates, Kevin and Ruth dined at what would be considered here in the South a fine dining restaurant. <br /><br />DeeDee Tillotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602508098099644096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-26737012585327309482016-11-07T12:40:47.856-05:002016-11-07T12:40:47.856-05:00What kind of food do they eat?
