Mediterranean in the rain

Our plans can often change on a whim.
I've heard so much about the movie "Up," that I couldn't think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than in the theater. We decided, however, that we'd stop for a beer first ... Umm, where should it be Green Mill or Ansari's. (Both were quite near the movie theater in Eagan.)
We'd never been there before, Ansari's that is, so Ansari's it was. It was quiet there at 4:15 in the afternoon. Whenever we can, we like to sit at the bar, because you never know who you're going to end up talking to! So one Greek appetizer and a beer, led to another beer and dinner, and conversation with the restaurant's owner, his children, and Matthew and Chris who sat next to us at the bar.
The lamb platter with rice, the tabbouleh and pita were outstanding, combine that with the friendly people we met, we will be back.
I got the idea of writing a story about Hookahua pipes and Shisha (the type of tobacco used), they plan to have it available for customers this summer if they build a patio. They do however, have an online business selling the stuff. I think I could market the story to some publication.
