Cafe Ruffini 2

A tradition continues.  Ruffini is owned and run by a collective of folks, and the yellow plants on the top patio are not fall foliage, like out front.  They're happily blooming tree datura flowers, even in sub freezing temperatures.

Cafe Ruffini

Here is lovely collection of cakes, in the window of Cafe Ruffini, which has not changed one bit in the 30 some years  I've been coming here.

Poseidon

Over night Munich has become a winter wonderland.  

Here's Poseidon covered in snow, shot from the window of a moving tram.

Fountain & Doves

Munich, inner city.

Westfriedhof

Munich's western most graveyard in bright fall splendor.

Melange Klassik for breakfast

Here's my recent breakfast at Cafe Melange in Munich / Gern.  4 different cheeses, cold cuts, jam, breads, butter, honey and a perfect soft boiled egg.  Comes with Latte Macchiato, a super frothy affair, which comes Vienna style with a glass of water and a cookie.  =)

Pork Roast

Here's my dinner at Gut Nederling.  Bavarian pork roast with dumplings and a bacon studded coleslaw.

Peace Angel

I'm in Munich, enjoying the fall colors and my visits.  

This is a landmark called Friedensengel, overlooking the  river Isar.

Old Angel

Not in Topanga, but rather Europe.  It's where I'm heading to be a Halloween angel.  Expect irregular updates.

Kitchen Window View

At work.

Topanga & PCH

Going to work at 6 am.  That's my trusty little truck on the left.

Wylie's Bait Shop

On PCH.  Peaking through the window at 6 in the morning.

Party On!

"Hat John" and barefoot girlfriend are kissing among the smokers & drinkers in front of Hillbillyhip.  It's unusual Tuesday, so wild shenanigans are bound to follow soon.

Unusual Tuesdays

Up to the usual shenanigans at Hillbillyhip.  Here is Drummer, yet again, sporting his extra large size bone.

Carwash

Nice clean set of wheels after carwash day at Children's Corner Preschool.  At 100* in the shade there was little else to do, is what the director told me.

Pecan Rolls

Another tasty temptation from Patrice..

Fresh Bread

At the Topanga farmers market.  Made by Patrice Winter http://www.creeksidewellness.com/pwbio.html

Topanga Days

Here is the original Topanga Days poster, from way back when, hanging over the fireplace at the community house.  Hippies rule!

Craftsman House

Lots of stairs.  Seen off Topanga Cyn Blvd.

Sharp Points

On this agave plant, illuminated by the afternoon sun.

Cast Iron Gate

And a couple of trees doing the tango.  Seen at Topanga & Mulholland.

Back from my most recent adventure.
