Last morning in LA

I think Clay has some food photos from dinner at El Cholo last night and from the Original Pantry this morning. I had been looking forward to the remembered as mythological pancakes today. When we got there I saw they had pancakes and buckwheat pancakes! I didn't remember which kind I had and loved and wanted to repeat! Assuming I'd have gone with buckwheat in the past as something different, I ordered them. These were just ordinary, not the fluffy, melt in your mouth pancakes I'd remembered and craved. Disappointment. Still massive servings. Coffee was only 85 cents with a meal! I'd made and drunk the Starbucks in the room since we were up very early. That was good as when we departed about 8am, there was a line around the corner waiting to get in.

We walked back and Clay went in the Rite Aid across the street from the Sheraton to look for some kind of ice cream. Now this was not our first visit to this Rite Aid, but somehow we'd previously failed to notice the scoop shop! This Rite Aid had a Thrifty ice cream counter. How had we missed that. Clay was thrilled, if disappointed to have missed a serving after dinner the last 2 nights!

We are resting after breakfast and waiting til closer to our 11am private car transfer to Crystal Serenity. Next post will be from onboard. There is supposed to be a formal World Cruise kickoff Gala onboard tonight. The next day the 1st segment passengers board and we sail about 6pm that evening. We prepurchased tickets for the USS Iowa for that day. Sadly, it forecast to rain again that day. It was meant to be a walking kind of day for us at the waterfront. Oh, well it's weather and you get what comes.
