I needed to run an errand, so walking out through the beautiful reception in my glorious, historic hotel…
…and down the street past a sign that I think was meant to mean two-for-one, but didn’t quite get the message across…
…past one of many hookah bars…
…had a delicious, leisurely lunch at this cute little cafe…
Oh, yum!
…then continuing on…
…and found the Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse – two passages that join up, one named Villacrosse, the other Macca – with a stunning yellow glass covering… built in 1891…
Although it is the ‘modern’ way of life, it’s funny, I did still think it strange, especially given my personal focus on paying attenton to the little things, to the beauty around me, to the sights, smells, and sounds… that it seemed everywhere people where only engrossed in what was on the small screen in the gadget in their hand…
By the way, if one looks at the thumbnail for the video below, it appears to be a great big puppy dog!
I needed to sit for a while, so what better way to pass the time than with a spot of dessert…
