Cafe Luna

Cafe Luna is located in the city center and a great place to meet - good coffee, bakery, WiFi and sandwiches.

Vashon Ferry

Vashon Island is a bit of a place of it's own - small town, mildly eccentric, fiercely 'Green' and gentle in it's clime - it is accessible in many ways. The ferry ride from the mainland Fauntleroy dock to the Island is a lovely transition from 'fast paced' to 'not so fast paced.'

Minneapolis Landmark - of sorts....

The Minneapolis/St. Paul recently received a lot of press as the scene of Senator Larry Craig's unfortunate incident. This picture of Snoopy is right outside the "scene of the incident" - the Men's bathroom. The actual stall is unmarked.

Vashon Island Visit

Vashon Island is located in Puget Sound and is easily reached from the airport (SeaTac) via a 560 bus which gets you to the Vashon Ferry which drops you off at the north side of the island. This picture was taken from the Tahlequah Ferry dock at the south end of the Island. All in all a pretty easy gig as we got a ride in a pick up from the ferry to Vashon Town - pretty friendly folks!

On the Road Again - Heading Southwest

I will be on the road again soon with my destination being Chaco Culture National Historical Park. I found this picture of Fajada Butte taken from the north side of the canyon and look forward to seeing it again in all types of light.

Southeast Road Trip - Featuring Indy

Much of travel requires flexibility. It is the adventure which is not part of "the plan." As this trip unfolded from MN to NC and return, a stop in IN to be with family was opportune.

A beautiful view of Pilot's Knob heading north toward the West Virgina Turnpike.














The best being the "Lance in the Pants" truck as seen heading into Indiana.

Gophers Trampled by Bison

By this time you are probably aware of the North Dakota State University victory over the sad and hapless University of Minnesota football team. We were about to be among the 20,000 NoDakStateU Bison fans who came into "The Cities" for the game. Imagine hearing 20,000 folks all sounding as if they were in out takes from "Fargo". We were amazed.

The accents plus the really excellent (or in Minnesotan.."pretty good") attitudes and not to mention but I must...the head gear made it a pretty darned good day.
The Minnesota "Marching Gophers" put on a great show but depending on which side you were on the "M" looked much like a "W".
