Shopping day in Sarasota
We thought a little bit of shopping in Sarasota and lunch at Whole Food’s would be nice day out as they make a really nice prime rib baguette and so at about 11.00 we departed the house and headed north towards initially Costco as we also wanted to buy some nice prime rib steaks and a few other bits and pieces which are only available in Costco. We arrived just about midday and spent about an hour looking around and as usual you end up by buying stuff you never came to purchase, Oh well, we have all done it.
And so $ 200.00 later we departed for Whole Foods and as there are two in the Sarasota area we thought we might try the one we had not been to and so we arrived and did some initial shopping and then headed over for the counter where we expected they make the sandwiches to order but there was no sign of any sandwich activity. Noel asked the lady behind the counter about the sandwiches and she said we don't do that here?? what that cant be right and so we chose some pre-made ones which from a limited choice would do but it was not what we wanted. As we had decided to eat in the shop seating area we went along the back of the shop there was something that we had not seen before and it was Brasserie Honore with a great menu and also selling prime rib baguettes, now here was a dilemma , do we eat the sandwiches we have just bought but did not really want or go for the prime rib baguettes, actually there was no choice and the baguette was simply superb. So now e have our sandwiches for tomorrow.
We headed home and got there about 16.30 and had a little read and then watched a Netflix film and then to bed. In the meantime Noel had been looking at Hotels for where we can stay en-route to our friends in Santa Rosa which is about 400 miles away and so we are planning to stay the night in a Hampton Inn in the hick town of Perry.
Oh well we will most likely spend all of Saturday at the pool. What a nice way to spend the day.
