Home and Eating

I think it will be best to just hit highlights in this post, there's enough pictures to make it lengthy enough...

So I've been home approximately four days and things are going well enough. My Mom is trying to move and I will miss our neighborhood once she does. That said, anyone need a house in Nashville? Family friendly neighborhood and beautiful?

Check the street post rainfall. Not bad huh?

This could be your bus stop. Picturesque no?

Enough plugs. First night back my sisters and I went to Mazatlan at my begging. My guacamole obsession is just that: an obsession. Mazatlan is fast and good, that's all I wanted.

Check out my sister's goofy face...

and not so goofy. Beautiful isn't she? She is, I don't need you to tell me. If you're under 30, make six figures, don't beat women, and don't have a criminal record, let me know if you're interested. Scratch that, criminal records are okay, just let me know why. I've come to understand those are touch and go on actual severity.

She's wild though. The faint of heart need not apply.

See, everyone loves Mazatlan.

Guacamole lacks the required chunky level to get a 10, but it's good none the less.

Saturday we celebrated my graduation with a trip to Mafiaoza's and 12 South Taproom. Oh man, I highly recommend both. I'm leaving Nashville and all of a sudden I feel like I have some many unexplored locations. So is life I suppose.

We get it from our Mom. Also beautiful. Aging well which makes me happy since I'm all for aging with grace. My Mother may or may not also be single if you're interested. I don't check in with her often, but if your application is up to par I'll pass it on. Same requirements as the sister, except must be above 30 not under. Preferably over 40 just so I don't feel uncomfortable.

Salads to start...

This was for me so I could get the hummus. Have to order at least three little sides...worth it.

My salad. I was sadly underwhelmed despite the amazingness of the rest of the meal. I think it was just my taste buds. Next time I would ask for half the tomato, double the artichoke hearts. I would also leave the hearts on the salad instead of eating them all first. Their lack may have been why I was underwhelmed. Also maybe because I took off the Feta due to veganism. So is life.

Right next to Mafiaoza's is one of my new favorite places in Nashville: 12 South Taproom.

My Aunt is picking her nose. This would have been such a good picture otherwise. My middle name is in honor of this lady. Where does that put me?

Public warning: stay clear of this UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen. It is an insult to taste buds everywhere. My sister was able to finish it. God bless her.

After our five hour eat/drink fest I went for a walk, made friends with some stroller pushers, and practiced my wildlife photography.

And finally this photo is from this morning, and I wish you had been there to stand on the bridge with me. I don't think it's coincidence a lot of my Wish You Were Here photos so far involve nature. Such a personal, solitary thing the environment can be, but as much as I'm running away from people when I'm in it, I often wish they were there for the experience.

Enjoy!
