Hello! I'm Lothiriel and new to the area. I just sailed from New York, and I'm excited to be here for a while. I was super excited to drop off gifts for my cousins, Boromir and Faramir. Speaking of? Hi, you guys!

So what does everyone do around here, for fun? I always end up asking when I come into port for a while, since asking the locals is the way to find out where all the best places to eat or drink are, and where to go shopping. If I buy too much, I might sink my little boat! I better be careful that I don't go overboard. :)

Welcome to the area, Lothiriel!

I don't think I recall Boromir or Faramir mentioning any gifts recently, shame on them both! They didn't mention their delightful cousin was in town, either!

As for places to go, I feel you would be absolutely remiss if you didn't immediately get some coffee and pastries at Baxter's Bakery. It's a fixture on this network, and with good reason!

	Thank you! Oh they didn't, did they? Terrible boys! Truth told, the sort of gifts my aunt sends to anyone aren't really the sort that people go talking about in public. Teehee! And Baxter's Bakery, you say? Time to load up on some carbs. Thank you for the tip! Do you have any recommendations on what to order? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oooh, how intriguing! Why is that, I wonder?

I myself get the lattes, you definitely want anything with milk or cream in it, since it comes from a ranch that specializes in some kind of...

Well honestly I don't really know how they do it, but the milk sparkles, and it's completely natural.

You can't go wrong with the croissants, there! She bakes the kind with filling it, all different fillings. I like the cheese and cherry ones.

Because they were ~~naughty~~ gift baskets of dubious distinction. ;)

I love lattes. I'm like my cousin Faramir in that reguard. But sparkling milk? Is that anything like the golden opulence sundae at Serendipity 3? That sparkles too!

Cheese and cherries. I'm writing this down by the way, so I don't forget.

You seem to know your way around, so...shopping? Where should I go? I can't ask Boromir, because he'll roll his eyes at me trying on dresses. I don't want to trouble anyone either, so I've been riding around on my bicycle close by the marina, and not straying too far. YET.

	Wow. That's a nice... boat. I admit, I'm not much for boating, myself. But it takes a lot of guts to sail from one side of the country to the other. I guess you came through the Canal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
