The weather was warmer today. I could feel spring in my bones. I get that way around this time of year. Maybe I was feeling a little homesick. Whatever the case, I’ve been craving Mexican food. I noticed this little while walking around during my lunch break.
As I was standing outside the door reading the posted menuboard, an older lady passing by said to me “Go in. You’ll like it. It’s really good.” I took that as a sign.
I took a detour that night after my trip to the antique store. I passed along back streets, out of the way plazas, anywhere that looked like it might afford me new scenery. I stumbled across El Portal behind the headquarters of the Planetary Society, its aromas drawing my attention before I’d even rounded the corner to lay site on the place.
