Cheesecake Facotory med Brittany
Vi tog oss sedan vidare in till Waikiki för att käka middag på Cheesecake Factory. Brittany tog en Ceasarsallad och jag käkade Fresh Fish Tacos. För er som är rädda för fisk tacos så kan jag informera alla om att det är jättegott! Verkligen!
Efterätten vart en traditionell Cheesecake med jordgubbar ovanpå. (Trots att Cheesecake Factory har hur många olika sorters Cheesecake som helst.. bland annat Godiva Choclate Cream Cheesecake, Coconut Raspberry Truffel Cheesecake.. ja ni förstår.)
Skön onsdag dock. Vi båda däckade totalt när vi kom hem mätta och jättetrötta vid halv 1 på natten.
Jag är snart klar med min studyguide till Historia tentan, tack och lov, så jag kan få lite hjälp av världens bästa Nät att repetera och trycka in information i mitt huvud.
25 dagar kvar till hemkomst.
Peace
