Paris - Marais District - Food and Fashion

A stroll through the Marais District is a must.  There is a lot to see, many many places to eat with a wide variety of choices. We also noted that there are many 24/7 food places, so this is the place to go when you are hungry at odd hours.

We selected Cafe Tranquille.  Just sounded nice.

We selected a table outside warmed by the sun.

Tina ordered this salad and had a lot to say about
how yummy it was. She will add her comments in the
comment section so check back in if she hasn't
responded.

I ordered an omelette mixte.  7 euro

It was filled with ham and cheese, was very tasty and filling.

We were people watching and became interested in the footwear.
There were a lot of boots.


We saw a lot of athletic shoes on people who were
speaking French.  Oh no!

I added an espresso and thought that the cupwas so cute.

I saw several people wearing these. They are pants and the
crotch is nearly all the way to the floor.

Tina and I decided to pass on this fashion statement and
keep with our fashionable look.

The cafe was a great choice and the food looks incredible! I too like the cup.

As for the fashion, I too will pass on that!

I enjoyed the footwear survey. Brings the street scene to life.

I'm a goat cheese girl. And there's no lack of goat cheese in France so, now, I'm a happy girl. Sitting outside, enjoying lunch and people watching is quite fun. We have a very full agenda scheduled but there is always time to relax, catch our breath, have a treat and remember that this is a once-in-a-lifetime (for me) vacation. I like that a lot.

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.
