Dinner by the Waves

After our weekend, we felt in need of a little treat.  We went to have dinner by the ocean!  I think it is fantastic that it is winter now, and yet I was wondering if I would be hot when we would be sitting on the restaurant's patio for dinner.

We had a really nice dinner, just sitting and talking.  After our waiter took our drink order, he disappeared for about half an hour.  Then the electricity went out.  Once it came back on, we were able to flag someone down to order our dinner.  Then the electricity went out.  Then our dinner arrived.  I had an incredible fish fillet, the best I've had since being here.  And then the electricity went out.

It was a very nice end to a hectic weekend.  I loved that the electricity went out three times, and we sat in the dark for about five minutes each time, under the stars and hearing the waves hitting the beach.  It was wonderful.  There also was no apology or explanation for the power outages given by the staff.  After all, it's part of life here.
