Old Towne Stripes

     Last saturday we took a day trip down to Temecula to shop around and have lunch. We stopped at Rosa's Cafe. If you live nearby, and have never eaten here... you are missing out! The make handmade tortillas in front of you all day long, and they are so floury and warm when they serve them to you! I usually just get the burritos and Geoff gets a plate of chicken tacos. But, the best part is dessert! They fry the tortillas and put cinnamon and sugar on them and they give you a little honey bear and you can go to town. They are called Sopapillas and they are deeeeelicious! I dream of them!

     The town is kind of made to look like an old vintage type town in the downtown area only. There are plenty of restaurants and a really cool bar called The Bank, in what else but the old bank building, that looks like it is pretty hoppin. There are tons and tons of antique stores and little family and locally owned shops that sell everything from candy to dried fruit to clothes and even a root beer shop! We loved walking through the garden stores with really beautiful flowers and plants and interesting sculptures and fountains. People come down and park their fancy cars or motorcycles along the sidewalks and you get the men sitting on the stoops just watching everyone go by. It is really charming and a nice escape from the typical city life and traffic for a few hours to get away and feel like you are totally transported back in time!

And here is my entry for the Everybody, Everywhere  challenge. Today was Breton stripes, and since I committed a fashion flub and wore the same outfit today (GASP!), I am at least submitting the much more lovely photos from our trip out!
