After waking up late on this glorious Friday, Maryellen, Joe, and I decided to trek to the Citadel. Thinking that the taxi driver would take us through the downtown and up the hill, we took a cab to Rainbow Street to get some breakfast. It'd been SO long since I'd been to Rainbow Street - it was so nice to explore again. We ended up eating breakfast at Family Oven where I ordered a not-so-strong American-style coffee and a spinach manaesh, and Maryellen and I split a Nutella dessert. Dessert with breakfast always means it's going to be a good day.
We took a cab to the Citadel, and it appeared that we were headed in a totally wrong direction. Instead of going to the downtown, the cab driver drove us past third circle - the direction from which we came. We spent the entire cab ride thinking that we weren't going to make it there, and all of a sudden we arrived at the hill where it is located. The ruins were amazing, and I really enjoyed the museum. I love to nerd-out on outings such as this one. And I saw the Dead Sea Scrolls!
In totally unrelated news, the hot water in our apartment doesn't seem to be working, and my bathtub is not draining. But on the bright side, I got a warmer blanket for my bed and am sleeping much warmer in my totally uncomfortable bed. And I made a vegetable curry for dinner, and Joe made some cookies. Maryellen made a cake, too. We're so domestic.
