Game Day

The majority of game day was filled with more shopping, walking and eating.  The Oasis across from the hotel didn't open until four, and Mr. and Mrs. Owner were the first and only customers when they stopped in to eat
before getting a shuttle to the game. They started off with a yummy goat cheese and edame dip covered with toasted pumpkin seeds.  My owner (aka the queen of salads) ordered a delicious chicken salad with raspberry vinaigrette.

Not only was the food excellent the decor was modern and chic.





After a great lunch it was off to the game.  At an away game it's always comforting to see fellow fans decked out in your team's colors so Mr. Owner was glad to see a couple in Tiger blue.

As soon as they began to talk he knew who they were.  The freshman punter is from Australia and these could only be his parents.

They walked along and chatted about the similarities and differences in their two countries and how hard it was to let  a child follow his dream halfway around the world. Later during the game the women chatted about the difficulty of finding healthy food in the south, and various other girlie topics only to interrupted occasionally by someone saying, her son was punting...momentary attention was paid and then the conversation continued.

Unfortunately the game ended in a loss in the last two seconds. My owner was anxious to return to the Oasis which they did after standing on a windy mountain side waiting a good while for their hotel shuttle. 

The next day...home, but not before my owner spent a couple of hours to herself lounging beside the rooftop pool with a book.
