Casino, Oasis and Pearl Destinations

After hanging out by the fire. discussing driving directions (and not communicating very well) and having a couple of beers, Kelly, Hugh and I went to Turtle Creek Casino - Hugh via motorcycle; Kel and I via car. We gambled for about three hours - Kel, slots; Me, slots, Texas Hold'em and Let it Ride; Hugh, slots. Kel did great when we first walked in because she got a big payout on one of the slots near the door. However, she proceeded to lose most of it. I did well on a few of the slot machines but proceeded to lose some on cards. Hugh gave up earlier than we did and went to the Oasis Bar for biker night.

Kel and I arrived at the Oasis bar around 9:15 p.m. after almost getting lost but we won't tell Hugh because we will never here the end of it. Yes, it certainly was a biker bar. It was still early so there was not many people there yet. However, it looked as though they were going to have women's oil wrestling challenges. I don't know if we even have that in Maine but anywhere we didn't stick around to find out what it was about because Kel and I were starving and had to leave this joint behind so that we could get sustenance. Hugh followed us to a restaurant down the street called the Pearl! Their kitchen actually closes around 11:00 p.m. We were extremely thankful for that! Kel had beef briskett (and margarita), Hugh had a blueberry cobbler with cinnamon ice cream (and a bloody mary) and I had a dish that I can't pronounce with andouille tasso, vegetables and rice (and a mojito). All was delicious! Oh yeah, they also had homemade cornbread and french bread! Ok, so I had a few of each before we even had dinner! I guess I could call that having my dessert first? Maybe not.

Anyway, we are back at the campground and the wind is whipping outside but we are having a fire anyway. Hope to be seeing my face down on the pillow very soon!

That is all for now! I can't think of an appropriate Jimmy Buffett lyric so I will leave that for later.

Hope you had a great day and night!

Kelly
