Last night, we explored a new cuisine... Ethiopian! I must say it was very different from anything I've ever eaten before. First off, there was no silverware -- we tore off small pieces of this spongey-flat bread called injera and used it to pick up a piece of the food and eat it! It was a very foreign style of eating, but we soon got the hang of it (although we did look with envy at other pros nearby mixing different parts together all in one bite!)... I know we will definitely be trying Ethiopian cuisine out again!

Then this morning we went to a hip diner called Elly's down the street! The breakfast was great, but I especially loved the restaurant itself; it was an eclectic mishmash of chairs and funky hanging light bulbs (see pics) and it had the greatest "mosaic" wall of plates. The place had great, positive vibes and a very random assortment of people... so fun!
They just painted the wall red (the rest are white), and I think it makes a dramatic statement.
(this picture was taken with my phone and definitely doesn't do the wall justice, but here's the general idea)
Here's a pic of the wall from the beginning of the summer before the wall change:

And then here is a fun outdoor shower picture I found on my phone from a while ago that I thought I would share (I'm sorry I have absolutely no clue where I found it... Jetsetter possibly?)
I just love the espalier trees and the tranquil setting!
