We just wanted a sandwich

Thursday, it finally came. I had big plans that I was waiting for all week: dinner with Sarah! We had it all planned out. We were going to the 9th and 9th Deli and would chat until she had to go to YW's basketball. I waited anxiously on the porch of the Deli, safeguarded from the rain. Sarah was parking and then we would go inside....or so we thought. After embracing, we tried the door. LOCKED! What the...? We then saw the sign on the door: "Hours: 11am - 5:05pm"

First of all, who closes a deli shop at 5:05pm? Random. Well, we were disappointed and retreated to Great Harvest with our tails between our legs. I was still craving the Reuben sandwich that I was hoping to eat last night. We walked down to Great Harvest and perused the sandwich menu. Sarah had picked up some bread. Right before we order our sandwiches, I notice another sign: "Sandwiches served until 3:30pm". What the....? Why is it so hard to get a sandwich around this town? I guess I should pay more attention to signs. So, Sarah purchased her bread and we headed back to our cars, again tails between our legs, defeated and deflated.

We decided to head over closer to downtown and decided on Cafe Rio; we were pretty sure it would be open. SUCCESS! We had a lovely dinner and as always, a great time catching up. So, we didn't get sandwiches, but salad and enchiladas. A fair trade.
