That’s a wrap for this trip. It’s been fun trying a new hotel and exploring a different part of the city. Perhaps next time I’ll try to take in more of the cultural life. There’s always something going on in Pasadena.
Now home again to Texas and the people I love. See you soon!
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.
