We ordered and then went up to the rooftop terrace. Thomas ran around and since we were the only people there we didn't have to worry about him bugging anyone.
The gyros were not so good though. There was no lamb in sight and that sauce was not the kind they use back home. It was also the cheapest meal we've had on island so far though so I guess it's a good option for a cheap dinner out.
They are really close to the seawall, so close in fact that you can hear the waves crashing and smell the salt while you're eating. I love that.
After the meal we walked the seawall to get home. A storm was coming in so the waves were the biggest we've seen so far. The water was packed with surfers. I think that's the first time I've ever seen people stand up on a board. Thomas loved waiting for the big ones to crash and splash us. He even held onto the side of the stroller and walked most of the way home by himself. I was so proud that he actually listened and held on.
Also, while we were walking I spotted an orange and blue block of seawall. Illinois is represented here! Woo! I had to look it up but it was the Illini symbol, and the Chicago bears symbol and the actual state painted on it. It made me happy, made me think of my dad, and felt like a little piece of home. Of course someone had written "sucks" over it in black paint but that's to be expected.
This is a video from earlier in the day. Thomas is very big into hiding from me now. He's not what I would call stealthy.
