Sturday Night's Alright

My first night at Flo's was very successful. Located near the beach, it is in an area very popular with tourists and locals alike. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is homey and very nautical. This month it is decorated with pumpkins and leaves and is very fall.
       What Surprised me? What surprised me most was that the upstairs was completely full at 7:30, which was excellent for my fieldstudy, but a bit unusual because the downstairs wasn't quite full yet. Another thing that surprised me was that Chris was watching the game on the TV from the end of the bar. This is unusual for him and I was curious as to why. It turns out that he is leaving in less than ten days and is kind of "checking out". Another thing that surprised me was that not as many of the regulars were there as normal. I'm not sure if it was the time or the night, but they weren't there. The final thing that surprised me was that Lisa was openly imitating Chris when he turned around. I think it is because it is the end of the season and that they live together during the season as well.
     What Intrigued Me? The most intriguing thing I found was the large fish tank teeming with many colorful fish, rocks, and decorations. It intrigued me because of how clean it is and how all of the fish are alive and well. I am curious as to how it is kept that clean and how they handle dead fish, especially because the tank attracts many children. The other thing that intrigued me was that Chris and Komes, the owner, have lively conversations at the end of the bar. I was curious as to what they were talking about.
     What disturbed me? Thankfully, nothing disturbed me during my visit to my field site.

  1. I am glad that the night that you went it was busy and there was a lot for you to discover and get interested about. This will then help get your audience excited to read about your field study, like I was. I love Flo's and can't wait to read more of your posts.

  2. I love how your field site has such a homey feeling not just for you, but for the readers as well. I feel as if I can picture the entire restaurant just by reading this post even though I don't think I've ever been there.
