Carmina is Not a Leggings Girl

Yesterday after bonding with Joanie we both wore leggings for our exploring. It was Carmina's first-time wearing leggings in public for the whole morning and afternoon. Carmina felt uncomfortable shopping and eating inside a restaurant. She felt having leggings clung to your body made her feel uneasy. Carmina notices her leggings we're slowing falling down her waist. It is not something she can see herself wearing outside again in public. Carmina had covered herself with a water resistance jacket given by her best friend May. Carmina often sees strangers outside wearing leggings doing their errands after experience wearing it, she rather has something else to wear if she would have to explore outside in the cold.

Carmina had informed Joanie ahead of time that she wanted to drink boba tea during our last bonding moment. Joanie had searched around our area where would be the best place to try something new. Carmina and Joanie notice there we're other customers inside Yokee Milk Tea giving social distance since the shop is quite small. The menu is listed on the door once you know what you want just line coordinately next to the person giving social distance from each other.

Chicken Enchiladas from Talavera Mexican Grill

  After hiking with Joanie you tend to build an appetite wanting to eat Mexican food. Carmina had notice while walking around locally came Talavera Mexican Grill that was located at the corner where she saw a lot of people eating outside and indoors. Even though the doors are wide open the air that was coming out made it safe to eat indoors. Carmina hasn't eaten Enchiladas for a long time and decided to eat with shredded chicken with red Chile ancho sauce for $14.90 for a plate with rice. Carmina didn't want any beans with her chicken enchiladas. There is an option to drink plain water or water with fruits inside. Carmina drank the one with fruits giving you a taste of something cold and refreshing to drink. Carmina's observation the restaurant is quite busy people entering inside for takeout or for dine in. Here is the menu for you to see what you would like to try in the future: NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Mexican food served at Talavera Mexican Grill.
