Back from vacation

[Guest guest]

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!
