Maria and John had been traveling around the coast for a few days. They were both excited to explore the local culture, and one of the best ways to do that was by trying the local food. As they strolled through the town in the early afternoon, Maria turned to John."Hey, have you tried any of the local food yet?" Maria asked, curious.John shook his head. "No, not yet. But I’ve heard from a few people that it’s really good, especially the fish. Everyone says it's something we shouldn’t miss."Maria smiled. "That’s what I’ve heard too. The seafood is supposed to be amazing here, and since we’re by the coast, it would be a shame not to try it."John agreed. "How about this: we can meet back at the hotel later this evening, and then head out for dinner? There’s a new restaurant by the beach that I read about. Apparently, it serves the best grilled fish in town."

"That sounds perfect," Maria replied. "What time should we meet?""Maybe around 7 PM? That’ll give us time to freshen up after exploring," John suggested."7 PM it is," Maria confirmed with a nod. "I can’t wait to try the fish."John glanced at her with a grin. "Do you even like fish?"Maria laughed. "I love fish! Especially when it’s fresh. It’ll be a perfect way to end the day."The two continued walking, talking about the plans for the evening and their excitement about discovering more of the local culture. As the sun began to set, they headed back to their hotel to get ready for their much-anticipated dinner.
