We had to take my car to the shop near Jamaica-hill.
Instead of one of us having to sit there for 3 hours, I suggested we take
two cars and go explore the new IKEA.
Galahad was getting over a flu-type virus, so I offered to let him stay
home, but he insisted on staying with the plan. I have one word to
describe that IKEA experience. Wow! It was set up as Disney for
adults. There were at least 20 people just outside directing traffic
and telling us where to park. Then, we were greeted at the door with a
smile and a map. Holy shit, that place is HUGE! Of course, me
being me, we needed to go straight to the restaurant. It had been two
hours since breakfast, and I was starving.
:) I
ordered gravlax, and he
got the Swedish meatballs with
lingonberry
sauce. Omg, so yummy! With full bellies, it was off to browse
and kill some time before my car was ready.
Being the organized person I
am, I left my cell number with the shop in case of emergencies arising.
However, I completely underestimated Swedish planning since it seems they
built that store like a bunker. No cell phone signal to be had
anywhere in the giant store. I didn't realize this for a couple of
hours though as we were completely engrossed in the whole experience.
We ended up spending over $200 on little things, and enjoyed the experience
immensely. I ran half a mile to get outside for a cell signal and
found that everything was copacetic. Those Jamaicans are awesome!
Once we picked up the car, we made a quick stop to get some beef patties
& coco bread. Mmmmm.
