Travelog for: Barthélémy

Soon Barthelemy found a few more pieces of graffiti that was not painted over.

Under the massive bridges where the freeways go over the park below there is a bit of graffiti type artwork that has appeared piece by piece over the years.  It was tagged many times and disfigured by other taggers and then someone comes along to repair it from time to time. 

No one knows who put it there and it is something that is odd to see.  This is a city basketball court behind the arches and not a place for children at all.  But someone thought it needed to be here and so it has been left for many years now. 

The drawings and paintings go totally around the giant columns.  And more strange yet----no one knows how they got up that high to paint it there. 

For Barthelemy a Halloween party means only fun.  It was not as gothic as one would like but it was fun to see what might happen.

The group joined in on some games called "Dunk for Jelly Beans."  Barthelemy only watched. This was a game for silly  monkeys.

Of course someone had to come up with the idea of pinning a tail onto a bear.  Barthelmy thought this might be a good idea for a monkey game.  He stood and watched with a slight smile on his face.   

The fun began when Holiday Harry and BobbyJack got the idea of tossing marshmellows onto the crowd. 

There seem to be plenty of party treats and everyone enjoyed these.

Barthelemy seem to enjoy the act of Trick R Treating. 
There he saw a few things he enjoyed while visiting a house to receive candy.

Something else that caught his eye.  Aw! Yes.  More of what he liked.

This guy looked very familiar.  Hmmmmmm!  Barthelemy thought he might have met him somehwere previously.

When Bathelemy left the party he was pleased that he was taking along some of the treats.
He had a great time----but next time---he wants to see a bit more goth to the whole theme.  This was a bit tame for his liking.

Barthelemy wondered around the city again today and found just a couple of trains with a bit of graffiti on them.
Most of the tagging that he saw though was not nice to put online for others to view.  Many times this wording is not nice to read.

There is a local hespanic restraurant that has a theme of different graffiti in and around the building.  Barthelemy thought it interesting to view. 
It means that it is the "Crazy Taco" place to eat.  Lot's of dancing and mexican music is played here every weekend. 

It means in the photos that they have very very hot habanero chili peppers served there.  These are the hottest that a person can eat. 
Many people get burned on their mouth and tongue yearly from trying these very hot peppers.  People have even been known to die from eating them.  It gets so hot in the mouth and throat that they can not breath. 

Barthelemy thought he did not want to try such a pepper.  He did like the drawings that the family members did on the walls. 

Barthelemy thought some of the drawings reminded him of himself.  He liked their looks.  The "dead" look!

The more Barthelemy looked the more he liked this place and the drawings.

And then he found just what he was looking for.  Something that reminded him more of himself than the others.  This is the kind of picture that he really likes.  See the resemblance?

Awwww!  Great look alike.

Barthelemy would like one day to come back here and try the food.  Perhaps it is good---and not too hot.
