For memorial day weekend (being a four day holiday in the military), I was able to get a trip approved for me to go up to San Luis Obispo to see Hannah! I was really excited for the weekend and It didn't dissapoint. It gave my gorgeous Hannah and I some more time together and myself and her a well deserved break from the norm. I love seeing her be my tour guide around her new stomping grounds :) SLO is without a doubt one of my favorite places to explore many styles of food (and some good shopping!). For anyone with a taste for California travel, promote this town to #1 on your bucket list. With only about a 15 minute drive to the ocean there's something for everyone to do ( AND EAT).

| F. Scott Fitzgerald |
Hannah frequents this place more often than I do of course, but since i was in town i had it in my mind to go back to the Kreuzberg cafe. In November Hannah and I had breakfast here and it was such a treat. Not in an expensive way, but in a quality way. Being from Seattle there are a lot of cozy-cafe kind of places around so this place hits home for me. The people obviously care about what they're making here, and their homemade kombucha tea on tap is a good example of that. Iv'e already scolded myself for not ordering it yet, but someday!! I ordered the F. Scott Fitzgerald sandwich for lunch, which had chicken, goats cheese, caramelized pears, and shallots. And who could resist sweet potatoes fries on the side (: I love goats cheese and I think that's what really tied the flavors of this sandwich together, the sweetness of the pears too made a great addition to this rich and complex flavor package. Great lunch!

| Sauerkraut soup w/ toasted bread |
Being vegan Hannah has to be a little more careful with what she orders. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about that. Iv'e lived the vegan life briefly before and I have a lot of respect for it, and I promise myself and Hannah that someday I'll return to it for good! Obviously that's not very possible for me to do in the military, so I have to put it on hold for now! Hannah has always had a love for sauerkraut, a love which i can't seem to grasp. I can't eat it as easily as she can :) but that's just me! The soup of the day being their homemade sauerkraut soup i could tell exactly what she was getting! She had me try it and i have to say i did enjoy it! It had a nice tangy flavor to it that went well with the other vegetables in the mix. The bread made a nice compliment to at all as well. It had the obvious flavor and aroma of being freshly made, which I always appreciate! After having real fresh baked bread in Germany I always find this a pleasing change.
