Walking Through Caesars Palace

I was going through my photos and forgot that I had taken a bunch of photos while walking around Caesars Palace on my Las Vegas trip in November. Caesars is one of the oldest casinos/hotels on the strip. It is almost 50 years old. It is done in a Greco-Roman Style. So I might as well post them, right? So here is my walk through Caesars:

And of course there are some wild slot machines:

Caesars Palace is a classic casino/hotel and I hope it stays the same:

Mission Santa Clara de Asis

I got to visit Mission Santa Clara de Asis. The mission, the eighth in California, was founded on January 12, 1777 and named for St. Clare of Assisi the foundress of the order of the Poor Clares.

A rebuilt and restored Mission Santa Clara was consecrated in 1929, when it assumed its primary modern function as chapel and centerpiece of the University of Santa Clara campus:

A wall. The only part of the original Mission

Mission Santa Clara de Asis is a beautiful church and I love the fact that it is the centerpiece of the University of Santa Clara.

Rockin With a Touch of Class

In January, I went to a place called The Smoking Pig BBQ in Fremont to hear some live music. The band was called "Touch of Class", they mostly played R&B covers with their own twist. They were good and the place was rockin all night long:

And the food was good also:

It was a fun evening and they are coming back to The Smoking Pig in a couple of weeks. I will be there to hear them play.

Music Monday: John Hughes Flims

Music Monday: I was reading a book called "You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried: The Brat Pack, John Hughes, and Their Impact on a Generation." Since it was my generation, I decided for this Music Monday to have some fun and play some the music:

From Some Kind of Wonderful:

From the Breakfast Club:

From Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

 From Pretty in Pink:

From Sixteen Candles:

From Weird Science:

Hope you enjoyed a little taste of the great music that I love in High School.

Versions of Monopoly

I walked by a store in Berkeley called Games of Berkeley and saw something in the window and had to go in and take a look. It was amazing I did not know that there all these versions of the game Monopoly:

And my favorite:

I was amazed that there so many versions of this game. I guess I need to get out more.

Welcome to Show Dogs

I finally got to eat at place where I always wanted to eat. It was called Show Dogs and it is located on Market St. in San Francisco. It is an electric, hipster kind of place. but they let me eat there anyway:

And lunch is served:

Lunch was great, but people who go are the ones who put on a show.
