okay, now back to granada and one of my many walks around town either before the cupping started in the am, or after we finished. once again, i fall for rustic beauty every time. |
vine-entangled trees that looked like they had been pulled down to the ground under all the weight, or been through a flood. |
and of course the eye-catching commercial paintings - here, a kiddy playland |
|
and of course, kids love scarey clowns. |
more great carts, this one licensed by nike |
and this cart, licensed by tony the tiger. maybe the hotdog-coffee combination is a winner that US cafes should look into? anyway, the people of granda have a lot of color and pride ... |
|
proud to be an granadian-american, or at least an america-lovin' cart, in granada, lovin' the USA, selling fruit ices. |
proud to be a chicken who loves her eggs so much she lets humans eat them (?) |
proud to be a lesbian? |
|
and proud of fine coffee grown in ... vietnam? what the heck is folgers and nescafe doing here? |
lovin' the spongebob, but also making him a little scarey-looking at the same time... |
speaking of scarey and borderline psychotic spongebob ... |
|
pokeman, well that's just nuts anyway |
pokemon number 2, not making any more sense than the first. |
how about pooh. pooh like hotdogcoffee? |
|
and spiderman? |
note how most of the carts are made from hacked off bicycle forks. |
ah, its a beautiful place, and the goofiness and touch of decay make it only better. and praise the lord, there is not one US-franchised fast food restaurant in the whole place. i'll be back, granada, unless olive garden or fridays moves into town, and then you can just count me out. |
