End of the world
Just past the end of the Pan-American Highway, there’s a trail you can hike that takes you out by the water. It’s a wild place to just sit, since you’re basically left with Antarctica after this. Feels like the end of normal civilization.
Funky staircase
Small town at “the end of the world” gets creative with their need to traverse the hills they’re built on. Love the design.
Buenos Aires architecture
I don’t know exactly what I expected, but walking around Buenos Aires and I was struck by how similar to European architecture it all felt. Of course, then I read a history book and it made slightly more sense.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
A bookstore inside a converted theater. Can see why it's called one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.
Luna Luna exhibit
A showcase of an amazing art experience from the 80s was on display in NYC while we were passing through. “Luna Luna” was an amusement park art experiment that included artists such as Basquiat, Haring, Dalí and more. This particular bit made for a cool photo.
Animation cel from Mission Hill (2)
The second animation cel I managed to acquire - this one via auction no less. The colors are just wild to me, utterly stunning. Signed by the show creators!
Animation cel from Mission Hill
Mission Hill was one of the last cartoons to do hand painted animation, and it kind of became a cult classic over the years due to its short run, tone, and general vibe. Most of the cels were actually destroyed - so when I was able to get ahold of one, I had to jump on it. The colors are incredible to see and it’s an amazing thing to have. I missed out on getting the cel I wanted though, which was of the apartment interior. If you own it and find your way to this page, let me make you an offer! Cash or trade cels (I’d give 2 for 1) ;)
Vegan tocilog
Chef Reina does some amazing recreations of otherwise tricky flavors. It's a bit of a hike to get here from San Francisco, but well worth the effort.
Smiling corgi
One hell of a photogenic pup.
Coffee shop artwork
Some neat artwork found when traveling around Eastern Europe. I unfortunately can’t remember the coffee shop that we found this in, otherwise I’d quote it (and the artist).
Chiwata Station
Built in 1928! Passed this during a road trip and had to turn around to see it. Still serving passengers today.
One art, please
A very captivating painting that was on the wall at the restaurant where I took my wife for our anniversary. I love the colors in this.
