Exploring Food and Movies

      While I was in California I met my friend at a place called Sweet Rolled Tacos in Redlands. It's a favorite of her's. It's in a small shopping center. The store itself is small with simple decor. There are some cute murals on the walls. The bases of the tables are vintage Singer sewing tables. The service was good. The ice cream is flattened and then rolled. It is placed in a waffle cone shaped like a taco shell. They have a variety of shell colors to choose from. I got one called Monster Ink. It was blue chocolate chip cookie and oreo ice cream topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a small chocolate chip cookie. I got a green shell. It was good. I would go back.

This is their first clue vampires are around. The villagers won't talk about it. Alfred falls for the daughter of the innkeeper. One night she is taken by Count von Krolock. The professor and Alfred follow the tracks to Krolock's castle and discover he is a vampire.
