Smell the Tacos

Yesterday I was driving thru Hayward to visit a friend. Looking for a place to get coffee I saw one SB, one JintheB, and a couple of closed Indian/Afghani places. Nothing interesting.
But I did see this 1920s era gas station renewed as a youth/community center with a local run garden.

So after my visit, returning north, I noticed that there were people in the garden, and a taco truck. And my window was open, and I was hit by the most amazing aromas.
My van can do a u turn in an amazingly small space.

Even with Covid restrictions, this place is vibrant. Stuff happening, 

New Murals

But the real star of the show was the taco truck.  I have never regretted eating from a taco truck. Two, now three of my most memorable meals have come from taco trucks.
My Spanish is not so good, but I essentially said "I want what he is having." Which was meat and cheese, wrapped in a taco and fried on the grill.  Served with Onions and Jalapenos

They say it is important to stop and smell the roses. 
I say it is important to stop and taste the tacos.

Piorama Bag Review

  I am always seeking the perfect bag, so I was delighted to do a review on this duffel. I hate reviews that feature  "The Unboxing". I really don't care how it arrives, and I don't care how pretty the features are.  I want to know how will it preform in the field, especially under stressful conditions. Just FIY  I did not receive any free product from them, but they did give me a discount. The opinions here are my own, and the photos are mostly my own. Piorama has designed a duffel bag that collapses into itself. This allows the bag to be configured for under seat, overhead, or checked sizes.  As my trips often have more stuff in one direction than the other, I had high hopes for this bag. I ordered two different styles the A10 and the S3. I got the  A10  for myself.  It is their middle of the road bag. The next step up is the  B3 , which is more back pack than I am able to use at almost 70 years old. As far as I can see, there are two major...

Morris in the Borders

Imagine you are driving in far rural Midwales.  Narrow, hedge lined roads with barely enough room for two cars to pass in the wide spots. You come around a curve to the top of a hill. You reach a cross roads, you find a group of mad men, in tatters, brandishing sticks. Women with hankies  frolicking.  Ignoring the threat of rain. The Bettwys Triangle Art and Music   with  The Shropshire Bedlams and Martha Rhoden's Tuppenny Dish.  What can you do, but park and watch . An old church,  with beautiful carved headstones.  The rain held off until the last crack of the sticks then  it poured.

Pottery in Fes, February 2026

I haven’t done much posting lately. I know I have said this before, and I will likely say it again. Life has a habit of getting in the way of my plans. I am cleaning up my photo pile and I am so excited about all of the photos. I have decided to give you a small bit of my Moroccan expedition with Chava. Our G-Adventure tour took us to several co-op factories.  Doofus that I am I have failed to write down the name of this one. I am hoping one of my fellow tour-mates can refresh my memory so I can add it here. This post is mostly a photo dump, with a some small comments. A more extensive discussion will be in the next post. Most of the photos are raw, without editing. Lodema, this whole post is dedicated to you, and to all of my artisan friends. All photos are my own. Taken on a Samsung. I encourage you to enlarge the photos by clicking on them. It will give you a slide show, without the comments. All of this is done on a kick wheel This is the kiln. Pottery is stacked inside a ...
