Not something I'll do again though. You see so much more on TV. But we also took in a lot of other wonderful sights! About the oysters. My husband loves them! Me? I couldn't gag one down. There's just something about the green guts that turns me off. Sorry! :( But I tell my husband he can eat all he wants if he wants to take me to a seafood restaurant! :) ~AmesAmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074479473400202674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-73207474397631359312011-02-20T17:22:39.129-05:002011-02-20T17:22:39.129-05:00I have never tried oysters, i've just never ha...I have never tried oysters, i've just never had the chance.
