Days 24: Sushi Train!

After a day spent at home while Eve was attending her youth worker course, we headed into the city to go to a place called Sushi Train.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but here's how it works: you sit at tables surrounding a constantly rotating conveyor belt.  In the middle of the belt chefs prepare sushi dishes.  When these are completed, they place them onto specially color coded plates and put them onto the conveyor belt.  Then they circle until someone from one of the tables grabs them off the belt and eats them.  When you are ready to leave, they charge you by the colors of the plates that are left on your table.  Eve and I ate some yummy sushi (although she doesn't like fish, so her's were not technically sushi at all...) and then went for a walk downtown, which resulted in us ending up in a gelato place, where I tried Belgian Chocolate and another chocolate flavor.  Both were deliciously rich and yummy.  Tomorrow I leave for Sydney for a few days, so we went home after gelato so I could pack.

** Eve has pointed out to me that I left a detail out of this description.  It really wasn't on purpose, but she thinks it was.  So, to clear that up: before Sushi Training it up, we did go bowling.  We played two games, and Eve beat me at both of them.  I was not a very good sport because I got really frustrated and annoyed that I was doing so poorly (and also that she was doing so well.)  It was not a shining star moment for me.  At any rate, apparently Eve is a better bowler than I am, regardless of my one season participating on a bowling league.  Ah well.  **
