Saturday Food Excursions

On Saturday seven of us piled into Dan's big van -- shaped like a Starfleet shuttlecraft, this year repainted a cheerful bright blue -- and head for the upscale Cap City Diner. Here Andrei, a bit of Gary, Nida, ChrisT, and Eric are visible in the back.

Dan and Rosemary are in the front seat, riding up High Street. We were forced off the freeway by some construction, and it took us a while to find the diner (it was a couple miles farther south, than Eric thought it was).

Dan smiles, when we finally arrvied.

Eric sips on his root beer float.

Rosemary's calamari appetizer.

Nida and her oysters appetizer.

That evening we decided we were in the mood for Japanese food. Eric called his Columbus-restaurant-expert friend, who recommended The Japan Restaurant. It was a fair distance from the hotel, but the freeway was open again, so we got there a lot faster than expected: well before the reservation time. Gary, Rosemary, ChrisT, and Dan wait next to the specials sign, in the lobby.

Rosemary waits in the Japan lobby, wearing her new hat.

Gary lurks behind a potted plant, taking surreptitious pictures.

Eric and Rosemary continue to wait.

When we arrived at our table, we snapped this picture of Gary's iced green tea, and then put away our cameras for the meal.
