So…this trip is not a holiday for Uma. She was back at work, and I was left to my own devices. I had all the energy in the world…so I worked out, ran many errands like finding the nearest ATM, handling monthly bills back in Dallas, did some trip planning, and also played around with IntelliJ, a development IDE I recently purchased taking my friend, Sam Gabal’s recommendation. 1

We decided to try a Mediterranean restaurant, called Saj 2, from Marcos’s list. Their Pita bread was phenomenal. Onuwa and Uma seemed pleased with their food. I misunderstood my menu and ended up ordering a large plate of dolmas…I’m a big fan of dolmas, but I think I am dolma-ed out for a while now.
