Deeep Cove


The place is actually called, Deep Cove, but I seemed to put an extra "E" in there?
I made it deeper.
We went to Deep Cove a couple of days ago. It's a teeny-tiny little tourist place that is based around a cove. That may or may not be deep? I don't know? I haven't tested it.
Maybe the locals are pulling a fast one? Is it even a cove? What is a cove? Do I even know? I'm assuming I do, but I could be wrong? This is a lot of question marks.
While there, we checked out a small, local gallery, walked up and down, ate sushi, drank fizzy liquid, and took in the town. There's not much of it, it's pretty much just a street that ends at the waterfront, but what there is of it is very beautiful, and I'm guessing that there are many one-armed people living in the town.
We came across a little girl, named Isobel, who was selling drawings outside a pizza place. Apparently, 75% of the proceeds were going to the victims of the Haiti earthquake. I would like to believe that. There is a voice in the back of my head that says she is saving up for a condo, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. She was super cute, and we bought two pictures from her, I got a cat, Amalia got herself a very happy looking snowman. Isobel is now an established artist. Good for her!
We then finished off the day in a coffee shop, that kindly gave us the chance to buy two coffees, sit down, drink a couple of mouthfuls, before saying "Sorry guys, we're closing now!"
Thanks a f_cking bunch!
Next time, just take our money and tell us to get out, why don't you? The whole pretense of letting us believe you were going to let us sit in your establishment and finish the beverages we have just paid you for, is just downright cruel. Don't toy with people that need coffee and sit-down time.
The place is a pretty nice spot to visit if you want a peaceful afternoon.
(But not if you want a coffee at the end of the day)
