5 April 2023 St Sebastian: Oh, Michelin Star, Shine on my Lunch

 


Kokotza restaurant has a Michelin star and we picked this restaurant for our lunch.  We walked there and arrived early.  They made us wait until the restaurant opened so we looked out over the water.  It was sunny and the people watching was fun.  Our lunch was most delightful.  Julian was our server and he was assisted by Sophia.  We chose the market menu over the tasting menu and that was a good thing as we were stuffed at the end of our lunch.  We had to say goodbye to St Sebastian in the morning so I got the car out of the parking lot and parked it just outside the apartment.  I had to circle the block but finally found a good spot and we had some light soup for dinner.


We finally got to the bead shop!


I got three of my Australian animals strung,  I had been carrying them since Perth Australia

A very cool sand art piece


Leslie said that she saw the guy who made all of these,  He left folks behind with blankets to collect coins that tourists throw down


Many roads were closed off
