Radisson Blu Lagos Weekend

AM I IN NIGERIA?!?!?!?!?!! And I didn't tell anybody?!?!?!?!?!? The answer is no. These are old photos from when I hung out with my friend Feyfey. I actually met her through blogging, and you might remember her from this post. Anyways, some time this year before this happened, we met up to have drinks, food and just talk about life in general. She's such a sweetheart, and I'm really thankful for her (and others) who I've met through blogging.

We decided to meet at Radisson Blu in Victoria Island, as a halfway point between us. When I was single I liked to go there to hang out with a friend or two. I really like hotel lobbies - they can be a way for you experience that "going out" feeling without making too much of an effort. A nearby bar, cafe or restaurant are all you need for a quiet outing. I like the lobby decor in this hotel.

Don't you just love these sculptures? See this post for other sculptures I enjoyed during my last road trip in Nigeria.

Anyways, we both enjoyed our food, as we shared a burger and fries. The fries were sooooooooooooooooo good!!! I think I eat fries a little too much :(

I really enjoyed the time we spent together. We talked about everything from work, to relationships, to losing loved ones, and my impending move. I think as women, we should have friends that we can talk to about anything, and who will lift us up in down times - of course, you should be able to do the same for them. It's not just about saying hey and rattling off about your life. Remember to ASK good questions!

We skipped over to Hans and Rene, which is in the same vicinity, but the popular Agbalumo flavor wasn't available, so we skipped out on it. I think this was the time I tried their chocolate cruffin - a croissant muffin - which is one of my favorite food items ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you haven't tried it, you really should. Of course we had to take "the shot" in Hans and Rene.

It was a short but sweet outing with Feyfey, and reminds me about some of the things I miss about Nigeria.

Have a lovely week this week! Be kind to others you meet :)
