After work we headed to Mac’s brewery for an awesome dinner. Mary set everything up – Trish and her husband were there as was Brent. They talked me into the Lamb schanks (which were amazing!) when I was about to order the soup. We had a great time!
Brent was kind enough to take me by Lyall Bay to see the surf after work. We were joking that the surf was kind of bad since I’ve been here – ironically the surf was up!! I had to take advantage and thanked Brent for the ride and made my way to the surf shop to rent a wet suit and a foamy. Brent went for a bike ride and offered to pick me up after a couple of hours to go for a drink at his place.
I was able to stand up in the foam, but couldn’t catch anything for any length of time. It was great!!!! I was so tired from paddeling, that by the time Brent showed up I was floating on my back admiring the clouds (so much for showing off even remotly).
Brent was shaking his head and chuckling when he saw me. I was so thankful that he brought a towel – life saver!!
Dinner and drinks at Brent and Diana’s was wonderful. We had awesome burgers and kumra chips, great drinks, and some awesome conversation. I look forward to staying connected to Brent – hopefully we can do a pharmacy exchange in the future!
