Traveling again and this week's trip has taken me to Manassas. While some of my friend malign the place, I really don't mind coming here. The motel I stay at is relatively new but when you stay in one of the corners of the place there is a huge crack in the bathroom floor, just like that corner of the motel wants to fall of.
I like coming here because I have a Barns and Noble nearby, and I can buy the latest version of "Good Old Boat", and visit Total Wine next to it and buy a different bottle of wine to enjoy a glass in my room. Furthermore, there are some neat international eateries, something we really don't have in Yorktown.
This picture was taken at my favorite hole in the wall: El Mirador (see my previous post on the restaurant here). El Mirador serves food from Central America, absolutely not Mexican, and last night I was the only non-latino in the place. The group in this picture is what I would call kids (being a 61 year old guy). The girl who's face you can see just had a baby and she is eating there with her baby in the carriage and a boy and a girl her age across from her. Kind of a sad scene in my eyes, kids having kids; although she looked very happy with her company and her child. The TV was showing a Mexican soap.
I am a trainer with the State of Virginia. I travel throughout the state to teach Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. I try to take the back roads and I like taking photographs. I am a naturalist, trained in biology and ecology with a very deep rooted love for nature. In this blog I like to share my photography hobby, other hobbies of mine, including my passion for sailing, biking, hiking and nature. I will also share my philosophical outlook on life and some of experience.
