Walking around town and more food.

I like food. I enjoy exploring. Last night Janey and I had a fair amount of both. We walked about 2 miles to Ludlow avenue in the Clifton district of Cincy. Decent walk. Some hills, but not too bad. We looking into lots of little shops. To me it seems as though Berkely and Piedmont had somehow joined and merged and was transported to Ohio. There is a very cool Neuvue Retro furniture shop called Paolo. It was actually 2 shops. One was a custom jewlery shop and the other was the furniture shop. Same guy ran both. This guy makes custom jewlery in house. He specializes in platinum. Going to have to remember this shop.

We ate at a very cool burrito shop. Reminded me of Planet Fresh in Livermore. It's called Habanero's. Anybody that decides to come out to visit us (plea for company) will be taken there if in the mood for very good, somewhat unique burritos. When we had come out to visit before, we went to a place called the Cactus Pear. That's a bit more traditional mexican. We each ate half of our burrito, and then walked back to our apartment. Actually, Habanero's feels a bit like Planet Fresh style burritos mixed with Dos Coyotes style decore and salsa. The fact that Dos Coyotes and Habanero's both seem to exclusivly be staffed by tattoed and pierced college students doesn'tr hurt that impression.

Thoughts for this entry: While I would have gone wherever Janey had picked for her PhD program, I am very glad that she picked Cincy over NYC. Utah would have been good too, but I think that Cincy is culturally diverse enough that she doesn't stick out too badly and while it's very religious, it's not LDS.
