This post is pretty simple: a lot of pictures that I took of something interesting at the time, and keep reminding me of things I wanted to mention. For those of you who have been looking for the kid's picture-book version of this blog, this is for you.
Yes, they are wearing hats with cow heads and horns.
I want to introduce you to the person who might be the San Jose version of Leslie, Austin's cross-dressing homeless man who was their unofficial mascot. I have been to a good number of concerts in San Jose, which has been wonderful. They do a very good job of using the parks on the weekends for art, music, and all sorts of other fun family-oriented activities. Well, at every single concert -- and, when there is no concert, the weekly Saturday drum circle -- this lady in blue has been there "dancing." I say "dancing" because it's more like bad, high-speed, tai chi in motion. She walks around a big area waving her hands. After a while you can see that she has about 10 moves, which she does repeatedly and to any music. Salsa? Jazz? Drum circle? Rock? Apparently this is the most versatile dance style out there.
I found this gem on the highway. Rather than fix the road, someone decided it would be better to just pay the money to install a permanent sign that says "bad road ahead." Well, I have to give them credit for being honest.
"Road is in bad condition."

Here is a typical casado from a soda, or local restaurant. all of this plus drink for $4. It's tough to leave McDonald's for less than that. It even comes with a ripe, fried plantain for a sweet and yummy dessert.
And no, canned spaghetti is not standard casado fare. Fortunately.
