Smoked Salmon

Sunday, January 16th 2011

We asked for a late checkout today which gave us extra time to sleep in, exercise at the gym, sit in the sauna and swim before packing up and heading home. On the way home, we stopped at one of those roadside seafood counters where they sell the freshest fish in the state.

We were looking for something to take to D's parents as a little souvenir since we planned to stop by their house on our way home, but then we realized they took cash only and we had $8 to spend which might not be enough.

"Is $8 enough for a piece of smoked salmon?" I asked the lady.

"I'm sure we can find a piece for that price." She answered and started looking for one of the smaller pieces. (I was hoping it would be enough for a larger piece, but that's what I get for spending all of my cash at the casino and candy store!)

She gave us a piece that cost $9 after being weighed on the scale and said she'd put in $1 to cover the rest. So, I then started looking to see if I had any coins to add and found another 35 cents. I'm hoping she didn't have to use her own money, but that was very generous of her to offer and at least it was only 65 cents in the end.

D's parents wanted to share the salmon with us right away rather than save it, so we all got to try it and enjoy it together. What a great way to end a fabulous weekend.

Peace :)
