a corner of biscuits and warm tea

Our December was cut short for these few reasons: Bern's busy work schedule, our refrigerator passed away (it was already elderly when we first got it), and I ended up with a pretty bad indigestion. Despite the mood-hiccups, we were able to enjoy the holidays by looking at the decorations from our mall-explorations*. We're pretty awed to find that more restaurants added outdoor seating. We noticed a restaurant that we liked relocated to a different street nearby! It looks like they upgraded to a sizable outdoor seating. Some places don't even require guests to walk in a building to get their seats waited. There seems to be a mixture of corporate-owned chains and family-owned businesses. It's nice to have options for brunch & dining.

I was pretty adamant about getting a lengthy walk steps, so Bern and I spent quite some time just going trough walkways, alleyways, and parking garages in the city; we basically vibed under interesting architectural spaces.

*mall-exploration- is that even a word? Well, it makes sense to me at the moment.

Alright, here's our 'mall exploration' photodump:
