Whimsy’s Quill Distills Seattle into a 5 By 5

Filed under: Places To Visit, Tourist Attractions — Laura Moncur @ 10:31 am

Here is a beautiful collage from Whimsy’s Quill:

In the collage is an afternoon of us walking about the pier, various photos of downtown, and of the Underground Tour.

I love to see photos of people’s trips to various places, but I especially love this 5 By 5. It’s a great snapshot of a weekend in time.

Next Time Try The Train And Relax

Filed under: Travel — Laura Moncur @ 2:56 pm

I love this photo from 1937 of two men walking on a road.

The bill board reads:

Next time try the train

Relax

Southern Pacific

It’s such a strange dichotomy to see the walkers with their suitcases in contrast to the cartoon man reclining on the billboard. I wonder if those two men would have taken the train if they had a choice…

San Diego, CA: Lucha Libre Taco Shop

Filed under: California, Food, Places To Visit — Laura Moncur @ 11:01 am

One taco joint is pretty much the same as any other. There are so many that it’s impossible to eat at them all. If you are in the San Diego area, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t have at least one meal at Lucha Libre Taco Shop.

The highlight of the shop is the prestige of the Table of Champions.

Unlike the rest of the tables at the place, this one is beautiful. It is roped off with velvet ropes. You are served your tacos and burritos on REAL plates with REAL silverware. Your glasses are filled with the wine you ordered. While the rest of us normal schelps watch you eat in style, you are treated like a champion.

Here is a feature on KUSI News - San Diego:

You can see all the photos I took that night here:

  • Sunrise in Moab makes we want to be there instead of here. Despite the sunrise coming through my very own window. http://tinyurl.com/cxqd62 #
