The trip began easily enough, but was quickly interrupted by a near-collision I experienced. This ended up requiring that I have all four of my tires replaced. Apparently, when you slam on your brakes, flat areas can be created on portions of the tires, which explained why my car was making funny sounds and additional vibration as I drove afterwards. I also had to locate my girlfriend when I arrived. She was at a Books-A-Million. So, the thought was she could ask the employees how I should get there, as it is located just off of I-4, which is the road I was on. As it turns out, no one at the store had the slightest clue how to get to their store. I ended up having to drive around for over an hour to find my way to the store. Absolutely insane.
I got to see several more plays while I was at the Fringe Festival this weekend. It was really cool. Some of the performances I found not so appealing but a lot of them were quite interesting. We also got to experience 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. It was really good. However, it was about 3 o'clock before I actually got to eat anything that day and that was it, so I may have been slightly biased and just overjoyed to be able to finally eat anything at all. However, I will go to another one soon and test this theory.
My girlfriend's final performance went quite well. Some of the audience members even stood when they applauded. One item I should probably clarify is my girlfriend's role in the play. I think some folks may think she is starring in it, but she is not. Instead, she wrote, produced and directed it. That probably does not make a huge difference to many of my readers, but it may make a difference to at least a few of you trying to get a clear picture of the whole setup.
While we were in Orlando, we went to the Dandelion Cafe, which was a new and exciting experience. Their menu had probably about two pages filled with different types of teas and the decor was very different - a little 70s-like or something exhibiting that laid-back and independent vibe. We got to try some hummus and some of their other culinary delights. It was probably the first healthy meal we were able to enjoy while we were there. Thank goodness for local kindness.
I also managed to get sick while I was in Orlando, which I am still trying to recover from. Hopefully, my doctor will quell everyone's fears today and say it is just a small cold with fever. I will be quite happy to be well again.

Your burger story brings to mind one of my favorite quotations I found in the Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder:
"Hunger is the best sauce."
Glad you enjoyed 5 Guys!
I haven't been to Dandelion Cafe yet, but I keep hearing amazing things about it. Maybe i'll check it out this weekend.
Sorry about your near car accident and cold. Orlando is a bit cursed, if you haven't noticed yet.
Last--gosh, I didn't realize your girlfriend did so much for the play! That's absolutely AMAZING!
Jenny ~ I'm hoping their burgers are as good as I remember and it was not just hunger induced euphoria. :-)
Lauren ~ Dandelion Cafe is especially good if you like tea and hummus. Stupid curses. Last, yes, just no acting. That's where she draws the line. :-)
That is so ridiculous that none of the employees knew how to get to their own store. My head would have melted, if I were in your position.
