It’s organizing task day today at the cottage. Morning walk, stop at Foodland for newspapers, but no food shopping – we are whittling down our stocks. Sigh. Today will be grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch – with just enough left over for breakfast tomorrow (because even though I am dying to try the banana bread french toast at What Ales You? we have decided not to go there for breakfast and football – but to just leave from the cottage in the morning).
After laundry and tidying up a bit, we head up to What Ales You? for our last night hanging at our favorite watering hole. Football is on – but there are far too many interesting people to talk to – so we pretty much ignore the whole game (and we’re at the point where we don’t care too much anymore really). We met Louie, a fantastic artist and great companion who was sitting at the bar creating his work. He gave us tons of hints and tips on happy hours, restaurants, etc., for our next trip (where has he been these past 2 weeks?). Chatted with Jess – who it turns out grew up in Penn Township and graduated from Penn-Trafford – and she knows our niece Allie! (And, after chatting with Allie the next day – time difference – she knows Jess too, and worked with her sister at Schram’s.)
Ok – it’s official – we LOVE this place – Maui and What Ales You? But sadly, our time is done here, so we walk home for the last time, do the final little bit of packing and sit out on the porch with our remaining beer and wine, soaking up our last Maui evening.
