The tide is high

We visited Lechuza Beach over the Memorial Day weekend, arriving right when the tide was pretty high – after sunset but still light out – so we couldn’t walk onto the beach.  Still, it was very cool.  Look how close the water comes to the stairs.  It was as if these stairs led straight to [...]

Gamble House Free!

BBQ for $5 at Whole Foods

Can a cheap meal be had at Whole Foods?  As I get to know its second floor eating area better, I think I can say….Yes.  The breakfasts, tacos, and Middle Eastern food all seemed reasonably priced.  Then I saw this on WF’s (Arroyo Parkway location) calendar:

Saturday March 21st and Sunday 22nd

Whole Lotta BBQ! [...]
