First thing Monday morning, I had orientation for my Internal Medicine core rotation. It was a fine orientation, but I really wanted to get home and see my Mom so it felt like it lasted forever. The other problem was that I had lost my voice. I felt pretty good other than having a little bit of a sore throat and the laryngititis.
Luckily, we got out of the orientation early. Farley and I had a few errands to run before coming home. Mom was still at the beach when we got home, so I decided to go sit with her (I couldn't really chat) and Farley took a run on the boardwalk. It was a beautiful day.
I have been wanting to go to happy hour at one of the many restaurants on the boardwalk north of my apartment so we decided to walk to dinner. We left the apartment a little after 6:00, which is a great time to walk on the boardwalk because it is starting to cool down a bit, but it is still light out. Here is a picture of one of the hotels with the sun starting to sett behind it.
We settled on Carrabba's Italian Grill, but I believe that the restaurant on the boardwalk is actually called Carrabba's Seaside Grill or something like that. They didn't serve the Italian menu, but had some great sandwiches and amazing coleslaw. The restaurant is on a beautiful deck, which is decorated like a tiki bar. Here are some pictures.
It was dusk when we walked back from dinner yet there were still tons of people out running and walking on the boardwalk. The most interesting person I saw on the boardwalk was holding a pet lizard and petting the lizard as he and a woman walked down the boardwalk. I am not sure what type of lizard it was, but it was rainbow colored and fairly large (the body was about the size of the man's forearm). The most humorous part was that the man and woman were walking like it was completely normal and the lizard was very alert and looking around with excitement in his eyes like a child at Disneyland. Mom and Farley completely missed the lizard when we walked past this couple! They did look back and see the giant tail, so they knew I didn't just make this up, but I really wish they would have seen it! Here are some pictures of the walk home.
We decided to go down to Wallgreens on 23rd street to pick up some more sore throat medication. When we were walking past the Gansevoort South Beach Hotel, there were many expensive cars (as usual). My Dad loves cars and since he couldn't come down with Mom for this visit, we had to get a photo of us in front of the pair of matching Bentleys. Look in the background!
