Paris - Le Tir-Bouchon

Le Tir-Bouchon
This is our favorite “fancy” restaurant with great food and reasonable prices.  This is now Tina’s favorite restaurant, too. 

Ravioli filled with shrimp in a fabulous sauce

Warm Camembert cheese with salad

Fois gras, citrus compote

Tina cleans the last drop of the fabulous sauce from her bowl.

Linquine with scallops and another fabulous sauce

Mashed potatos with shredded pork topped with foie gras

Pork back with fried pototoes
Reported that it was very tasty but had a little too much fat

Dessert was a strawberry tart with marscapone.

Look at the one photo with the hand holding read and wiping the plate clean. Hmmmm, looks like it is our "new to Paris" woman, totally enjoying her night out. Just saying...

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.
