Surf Sessions = 16
Km Driven = 6100
Today we struck out for a nice breakfast at Dizengoff's...apparently the best breakfast in the area. It turned out to be a nice Jewish cafe that served up the best flat white (espresso with milk) and a mean poached eggs with fried pastrami....Mmmmmmmmm:)
The food was great, the vibe was interesting and then we headed off for the day tooling around in Groovy Vibes, a second hand music CD store with an amazing collection of vinyl record covers (I mean AMAZING collection on the wall, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Osmonds (yep, Best of the Osmonds), the Doors, U2 (I drooled over those!), Nirvana, and hundreds of others you may or may not recognize). I forgot how much amazing artwork occurred on vinyl album covers in the 60's, 70's and even in the 80's. Alisa and I "acquired" some choice selections, like out-of print import U2 (woohoo...score!), and some other older treasures (Best of the Ramones for the pop-punk rocker in me!). We also tramped through several second-hand clothing stores which seemed to be selling a lot of early 80's and 90's American teenage clothing...you know, stuff you can still find at Goodwill and Valu Village for about 10 times the cost (eek!). One would do really well if they filled a 40 foot container of the best teen clothing found from the 80's and 90's in the States and shipped it to NZ and opened a shop....GOLD MINE!
So, needless to say, Alisa and I had fun browsing the racks and identifying "what year" the item represented...lots of fun!
