Cataplana

Walked a relaxed 22 Km south on a ridge trail, to a village with fab coffee, over rolling hills, to our final stop on the Rota Vicentina trail system: Vila do Bispo. Choosing fish for dinner was too difficult so we ordered Cataplana, a wonderful Algarve version of bouillabaisse.

Transported

After warming up with a bowl of ramen in delicious pork broth in a large Asian supermarket, I was delighted to find green tea Kit Kats: one of over 200 Kit Kat flavors in Japan. I was transported.

It’s Older Than Me

Walked across the Mississippi to Dinkytown for corned beef hash at Al’s. This 14-stool diner is older than me.

A Reward Lunch

Coffee House Chic

Stopped for a breakfast burrito amidst coffee shop chic. Corner Coffee, Minneapolis North Loop.

Not Mall of America

Dined next to a repurposed telephone booth, now the 1029 Bar Shirt Shack. The staff call it the Mall of America.
