Back from vacation

[Guest guest]

Sounds like you had a great time, and I loved your report

about your dinner out. I guess if you go to a nice restaurant

with a professional chef, it can be quite a pleasant experience.

It is sad how we as a people seem to disregard our

environment, and how the fastfood nation mentality thinks

nothing of tossing the wrapers and rubbish everywhere but in

the proper place.

Now I would think in a beach community that people would

be more health conscious and evironmentally aware. It is

interesting to read from you how difficult it was to find

vegetarian food there.

Good to have you back with us!

have

ever eaten, so our anniversary was very pleasent!

There was so much polution on the shoreline due to the things they

allow

there it was just really really sad...made me tear up....*sigh*..what

are we

doing to our world!

Hi gang...

 

Back from our Florida vacation. I have to tell you, Daytona is NOT a

vegetarian friendly place! Most places that my hubby and I ate at had NO

vegetarian options. Thankfully, our anniversary dinner spot had a great

waiter who suggested a vegetarian pasta dish for me, but it was made with a

cream sauce, and I pointed out that I was a vegan. He then said he would

talk to the chef, who made it, the same dish, with the roasted vegetables,

with a marinara sauce for me, and it was TOO DIE FOR! Best veggie pasta I

have ever eaten, so our anniversary was very pleasent! We went to the local

Walmart to stock up on groceries and they did'nt even have an organic

section...did'nt know what hummus was, and had NO organic or whole grain

bread! We ate in a lot, and I had a LOT of salad bars when we were out! I

managed to stay on my vegan journey throughout the entire vacation!

 

We had a great time, but its good to be home...as they say, there is no

place like home! The drive was nice and the weather was great! I don't like

big Florida bugs though! *uuuggg*

 

One thing that made me very sad, other than the lack of vegetarian places to

eat, was the way the commericalization has taken over. Driving on the beach,

next to turtles laying eggs and hatching young, is just wrong! There was so

much polution on the shoreline due to the things they allow there it was

just really really sad...made me tear up....*sigh*..what are we doing to our

world!

 

OK, off my soap box, its good to be back!
