road trip

date: 6/6/09

location: pizzas and cream, gualala, calif.

present: bflo, mary flowers

the final full day of my west coast trip was spent driving along the coast of california. having been thwarted in my attempt to have pizza for dinner the night before (since delivery stopped at 9pm in willits, ca (wtf?!)), i was beyond stoked when we came across this place right along route 1. i would have stopped anyway, but having a catchy name definitely helped.

i had a lunch special aptly named "a slice and a salad" though in reality, it was two slices of pizza. the salad was pretty standard, with a balsamic vinaigrette. the pizza was a pretty tasty flatbread. with the lunch special, you had the option to add two toppings. i added fresh tomatoes and mushrooms, setting a personal record for most toppings consumed in a week. to polish it off, i had a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream in a cake cone.

we then continued our drive along rte. 1 south, and cut over to rte 101 on this crazy mountain road that was pretty stressful. we made it to oakland in time to see the o's play a stinker against the a's. but luke scott hit a home run and i got some props from the a's fans behind us for wearing a rally cap in the 9th inning despite the score being 9-1.
