My friend Carol and I avoided the terrific, but welcome, rain storm on Thursday, by changing our trip to Bowers Museum to Wednesday. It was a gorgeous day, pleasant temperature and lovely blue sky. We had lunch at Tangata, the restaurant at Bower's, visited the gift shop to support the economy, and made a stop at Barnes & Noble on the way home.
We both chose the salmon salad and it was excellent. Beneath the perfectly cookd salmon, watercress, orange, red onion, avocado, and a bit of tomato, was a small bed of quinoa with the dressing all around it.
We had bread and butter and water with it.
There was a table full of museum people next to us, and I noticed several also had the salmon. Carol had her back to them, but had a view of the patio through the windows behind me.
From my seat I could see just a corner of the mural on the outside wall.
Just as I took this picture a cloud rolled over the sun and eliminated the palm shadows.
And for a laugh, here is the view as we came out of the gift shop. The dog belongs to someone in the gift shop and he had been very good, but then he wandered out into the foyer and then into the restaurant. He is a very nice dog, but not allowed in the restaurant, of course. One of the gift shop ladies was trying to get the harness on him. He was being very patient. He gave nice polite kisses.
