It was lovely and warm on Saturday morning, so Dave and I decided to hit the dusty bicycle trail over the bridge to the weir. In case you're not up on weirs (I wasn't), a weir is a small dam in a river or stream.
The river has some lovely talapia but unfortunately it's illegal to catch (and eat) them because they are considered a pest fish. There are also some very feisty turtles, geckos and waterfowl whose names I haven't learned yet.
Directly across from the weir is a nice restaurant that we like, so we sat down, ordered a drink and thought about what we'd like to have for lunch. As I was sitting there thinking, I spied something golden.
Hey, some money! In this case a two dollar coin, sitting all on its lonesome, so we invited it to lunch. Well actually to help pay for lunch.
However, as I looked around, there was no one to be seen. Very puzzling. Normally the restaurant is packed at lunch-time on the weekend.
I went over and grabbed a menu, and figured it out..."Lunch served from 12:00 - 2 pm."
It was currently 11 am. Bummer. Well, nothing left to do but enjoy the view...
Those turtles are starting to look good, however.
