A place you have never been. by Rainbow Bright

A few evenings ago I found myself sitting home alone with nothing to do. I had already exhausted all of the devices that I would generally use to entertain myself; I knew that I had to get out of the house. This feeling is usually alleviated with a drive down Highway 1 to Half Moon Bay and back (it's a beautiful journey), but today this would not suffice. I needed to move around, to interact with the world on one level or another.
As I pondered where to go, I recalled this task. If I'm going to venture out in the world, why not explore a new location? I laughed as my random word appeared on the screen....."addicting." How appropriate, I thought. I laughed even harded when I learned my destination....Banana Island. A trip to Banana Island? Sweet! I read on and found that Banana Island is a thai restaurant. How might the word "addicting" have lead me there? Well....
The roti appetizer with curry is very addicting, I can never get enough. ...

I hopped in the car and was on my way. I didn't have to go far, just to the Westlake Shopping Center in Daly City. This should be pretty quick and easy...."ha, ha," says the universe, "nothing is ever quick and easy." I turned onto Lake Merced Rd. to find quite a bit of construction and chaos. I drove around the shopping center for a while and came to the conclusion that Banana Island musn't been open during construction. I started taking pictures of the work zone. I figured that i would go to where 311 should be and write my word on the ground or something of the like. Just about when I was about to give up, I caught a glimpse of a shining red sign beind all of the construction. It shone to me like a beacon in the night! I immediately pulled over and went to work. To hell with signs persecuting pedestians, here I come.
I got to the front of the restaurant and to my dismay the back wall was one big window and the majority of the tables were filled. I hovered for a while until the time was right......
The deed was done and I got in my car feeling rather victorious. The antsyness and irritation lifted...I had won. I am the dictator. I dictated all the way home until I started to feel guilty about defacing public property. Hopefully my marker was water soluble.

The Adventure Begins....
Construction....
Frustrating. At least the lights of the traffic made for a fun picture.
Around the back...
this didn't look promising.
The Light In the Dark
Peering througt the fence was the road to victory!
HA, HA, HA
Here I come Banana Island!
Open During Construction!
Can You Believe It?
After all of that, the wrong suffix? You've got to be kidding me!
Hah! Don't worry about the wrong suffix; mine was missing a plurality. >_>
