Pulling a couple out of the archives today, since I feel like a blue sky is what I need.
It’s a bird!!!!!
Not a plane, nor superman!
Shot from the front seat through the windshield.
SKYWATCH is a weekly gathering of sky lovers and sky watchers. Join us.
Old town Eureka retains much of its Victorian architecture. It boasts of many shops and restaurants. I was particularly enamored with its antique shops where I browsed but did not buy.
I photographed plaques describing the buildings.
Some of the beautifully restored facades in old town Eureka.
Our pets like to soak up the sun and in the early afternoon, the stairs get a lot of sun. That is where we found them enjoying the sun when we got back from grocery shopping.
Buster (orange) likes to greet us at the door like a dog, but Emma (gray tuxie) would feign indifference.
While Buster went one step lower, Emma remained in the upper landing/rung to continue soaking up the sun.
The reason why Buster went one rung lower? To give catpapa a high five or high four for getting his favorite noms.
I’ve never stayed in a B&B that is why when we travel I am always on a lookout for one.
Isn’t it just delightful?
F is for fort. Three of the forts I’ve seen in my travel to India are:
Agra Fort
Red Fort
Amber Fort
When I first started cruising in 2006 I believe it is, the thing that bothered me about cruising is that I will end up overeating. Seven whole days of pigging out is not good.
As the years went on, I noticed that the cruises are taking more and more into consideration the health and well-being of their guests onboard. They make sure that you are aware of their gym facilities, the walking/running path, and other outdoor sports equipments.
However, the best place I see of this changes for the better is on the food they serve. They have specialty restaurants that cater to the light and healthy diner. Also the food they serve on the main dining rooms have changed significantly in the portion sizes they give. I was always aware of the wastefulness in cruise.
The Vietnamese spring roll appetizer is miniscule. Just the right portion size don’t you think?
The fried calamari is equally portioned right.
Steak and fries with mushrooms. Just enough.
The dessert is significantly smaller in portion but the hubs and I still split it between us.
E is for enoteca, which is an Italian word for wine repository. Many wine bars are called enoteca, like this one in Sonoma.
They have wine.
And charcuterie platter.
FRANKLY MY DEAR.......
