Just A Perfect Day

We've been eating fresh mussels almost every day. All 36 of these mussels here were only about $5.50 which is like $4 Canadian.


We also bought some sweet vintage jelly chairs for $5 at Salvation Army today.


Fresh mussels soaked in garlic and wine sauce and barbecued, and fresh homemade guacamole.

The mussels are still alive when you buy them, and as you can see, they are so fresh that some of them still have their lunch inside.

And to wash it down, a nice refreshing bottle of Thums Up cola. If you don't know what Thums Up cola is, it's an East Indian cola made by Coca Cola that tastes like regular cola, but has some weird East Indian spices in it. (According to Wikipedia it has the unique taste of betel nut.) It's basically like an East Indian Dr. Pepper. Really good. Also, their motto is "Taste The Thunder". How awesome is that?

They sell Thums Up for $1.50 a bottle at the Moshim's discount supermarket, which as you can see is literally across the street from us.

Top it all off with some music by The Ronettes.

After we ate I listened to Buddy Holly and had a nap in the shade on the jelly lounge chair. It was one of those perfect days where you can actually think to yourself "Now THIS is vacation." Not too bad.
