PeSuit and Tie

another warm week blesses us - no rain, just the ideal high 70s and cool evenings. we started the week strong with fancy birthday dinner at the marble room  for sib. she specifically demanded steak as her ideal birthday dinner. i complied, they offer some amazing sushi. it was a fun excuse to dress a bit up.  sib, bestie victoria, croatian bestie matea and myself tried out rock climbing  in the coolest rock climbing studio called climb cleveland . three floors, and a basement with weights, pool, books, vertical and horizontal climbing walls. overwhelming, but exciting! we need to revisit, and gain more upper body strength. to ail our sore arms, we all stopped for drinks at the treehouse  down the road.  cocktails of the week were: dragonfruit  (marble room) - dragon fruit infused tequila, lime soda. smoke on the beach (the treehouse) - pineapple tequila, mescal, pineapple juice, lime, agave. on saturday, sib and i tried ice cream at cibik's dairy islan...
