9/365 - Happy Birthday, Heidi! Opa & Coffee!

9/365: Happy Birthday, Heidi! Opa!

A gigantic Happy Birthday to my big sister Heidi!!! I love you.

After church this morning, we all ate at the always delicious Yia Yia Mary’s (Yelp) off of San Felipe. We ordered a side of hummus & pita and bread & oil. I savored the traditional beef & lamb gyro. I’m fairly certain that their meat portions are larger than that of Niko Nikos (still love them both; Mmmm NN’s rice). After our lunch entrees, we enjoyed a quick cup of coffee (decafs & regular espressos) and a slice of galaktoboureko for dessert.

Happy Birthday, Heidi @ Yia Yia Mary's

At church at Ecclesia tonight, pastor Chris Seay started a new series on Heaven. What is Heaven like? What does the Bible have to say about Heaven? Who will be there? Appearances? What will we do? How does believing in Heaven change the way we live our lives? It’s definitely going to be an exciting refresher! Check out Revelation 21 here.

For dinner, I joined the always jovial Emily & guys (who went to ACU!) from Ecclesia & ate at Chipotle. Craving coffee & dessert, I meandered over to Antidote Coffee (Yelp) for the first time & met up with Sarah (oh & ran into Cat studying). Good laughs! Tried a cup of Ethiopian coffee. Tasty! What a neat little coffee shop!

Fužine & Hotel Bitoraj

Our next Tuesday stop after Oštro was Fužine, a small town in the Gorski Kotar region receiving its name from blacksmiths. With 3 nearby lakes, it is a popular quaint mountain resort location for hiking & skiing.

My dad & I went out for a walk around the town while we waited for our main course.
