Day 9: Pairs

I stumbled upon this eclectic town while driving from Sedona back to Lass Vegas. It had always been a dream of mine to drive down Route 66, especially after seeing Disney-Pixar’s original film: Cars! This town was full of character and features vehicles with paper eyes on the windshield.

One was even a rusted old tow truck very reminiscent of Mater. Capturing a photo of the 2 lane road from a lower angle gives a different perspective and emphasises the wide open road of Route 66.

I really love photos that showcase perspective, especially if they include symmetry as well. There is something about the photo that is pleasing to the eye.

A friend from work showed me around this park. Walking over this bridge, I had to stop and take a photo because of the beauty of the symmetry and mystery of what was on the over side.

What a surreal feeling being inches, feet away from these beautiful penguins! Visiting Boulder Beach was an amazing experience and I highly recommend visiting if you ever find yourself in South Africa. I got literally swim with penguins.

I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with these animals. There were several areas of the beach to explore with some being more difficult to get to and therefore had less people.

Wine and cheese pair very well together. I sampled five different cheeses with five different wines. If I remember correctly I did enough most of the cheeses, but was not fond of some of the wines. While willing to try just about anything, I prefer sweet white wines and champagne.

This vineyard also featured beautiful fields and animals on the property. Over the course of the day we visited 5 more wine estates, ate a home cooked lunch, and paired chocolates with wine. I bought a port at that vineyard, which I still haven’t opened.
