Paris - The Grande Epicerie (Awesome food store)

This store is part of "The Bon Marche" and what started out as a small walk through while we were waiting for a church to open turned into a total delight for the eyes, ears, nose and mouth!  Tina remarked that had we found this store at the beginning of the trip, we would have had to eat more meals at home because she would have FILLED the tiny apartment refrigerator.

This is some store! I am amazed at the variety and selection. This reminds me a little bit of the Edwardian food court we saw at Harrod's in London.

Never in my life have I seen such a selection of...well, anything you could ever want to eat. The place was massive. It made you hungry just walking around.

Barcelona, Spain - La Sagrada Familia Passion Facade

Image
I just took the photos, many many photos, so that I would have them to look at when I returned home and could research this building.  The Passion Facade is quite a work of art so scroll through the photos and take it all in. I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.

Payson, Arizona - Ox Bow Saloon on Historic Main Street

Image
The Ox Bow Saloon is on the National Register of Historical Places so I thought that I would drive down "historic Main Street" and photograph the saloon.  I was out very early so that I could photograph the buildings without a lot of traffic.  You can see from the long shadows that this was just after sunrise. This is the "Historical Journigan House" is now a fine food restaurant, a full bar, and an outside patio with a grill.  I took this photo so that I could remember to come here for dinner.  This is the nearby parking lot. If you look closely, you can see various horses painted on the wall.  The entrance to the street from Route 87 (the main highway that bisects the town).  This is my destination, The Ox Bow Hotel and Saloon.  Fun look to the western style front.  Special parking.
