We started off with tea and breakfast. Then we exercised, Leslie with a session of Zumba dancing and off to the pool to swim laps for me. We took a walk along the river, halfway across the Goodwill Bridge and then continued west and found a few new places that we liked. There is a walkway that has been recently refurbished with cool art and informative signs. It goes along the mangroves and past a flood damaged City Cat ferry terminal. At the end of this walkway we happened upon a sushi place. We stopped in for some sushi and squid. On our way home we decided to try to find a tea shop that we had researched earlier. We found it and it was a gold mine of fine teas. We bought our favorite Gyokuro and also some jasmine green, hibiscus, Japanese monkey king and Japanese lime tea. The shopkeeper gave us a free tea and it was a tasty Australian sencha. Score!
