summer love

yesterday the hubby and i went and had lunch on the water at one of our favorite places, the ramp. when we first started dating we would go to brunch here every saturday. we would hang-out for hours talking (there were a couple of bloody mary's involved too). our favorite thing was the eggs benedict. we thought it was the best in the world.when we moved to chicago we were always in search for the chicago version of the ramp. we never found anything that came close. we found other special places like hot doug's,the best hot dog's in the world. when we moved to new york we continued on our search. we found a place on the water called the barge that was pretty cool. they had awesome calamari and you could play ping-pong if you wanted. still something was missing. when we moved to portland we searched and searched for a special spot that reminded us of our beloved ramp but it was a no go. we did find an awesome mexican restaurant called authentica that was pretty sweet. it was landlocked and mostly only open for dinner so it didn't really come very close. now that we are back in san francisco we have our ramp back. the thing we realized yesterday is that the food isn't really as spectacular as we remembered. it's good but not the world's best. we both agreed that it was those conversations we had there .it was part of our really falling in love with this person sitting on the other side of the table. we'll always have a soft spot for the ramp.
