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...

A Day in Stockholm

I spent a marvelous day in Stockholm in June 2024.  I stayed two nights while on my way to Finland to go on the epic Svalbard expedition, but more on that in a future post. To me, getting there is half the fun, and these side trips are a major part of the fun. I have been taking a brief respite from posting. Illness and overwhelm, you know the story. But with a new summer of travel ahead, I must get back on the horse. This post is mostly a photo dump of my brief stay in Stockholm. I rate my visits in relation of would I go back or not.  I do hope to go back and experience more of what this city has to offer. As usual, the computer has interesting ideas on how to change up my layout. Click any photo to see a larger version and have a slide show and skip what little verbiage I have added.  I stayed in a Scandia Hotel. Think Marriott's or the Hilton in Swedish.  A pretty standard high rise commercial hotel. And some times that is just what one needs.  The breakfast...

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.
