OUT OF THE BOX SHOPPING - Luna Rustica

If you have

stayed

at

Petit Soleil

you

will

have

certainly

noticed

the

colorful

"French" furniture

in each

of

our

distinct

rooms

(if not, click on the above to see the rooms)

It

all

has a

rustic

Provencal

feel

(exactly what we wanted for our decor)

and it

is

ALL

from

Luna Rustica.

Back in the day

we

worked

closely

with

Mike

(the owner)

to make sure

all the

sizes

colors

and

design

of each piece

would

be

made

specific

for

each room ~

no easy task

as Mike

was

working

with

a special artisan

in Mexico

who was

designing

and

handcrafting

each

piece

of furniture

...

after nine years

of

hotel abuse

the

timeless

furniture

is

still

beautiful

While

the

Luna Rustica

Warehouse

gets

a

face lift

and you thought I was done with Fish Tacos........

One

can

NEVER

have enough

fish tacos,

I decided!

Tuesday night

John and I

snagged

some

fresh

salmon at

Trader Joe's

made some guac

and salsa..

a bit of cabbage

...sauteed the salmon with peppers and onions

threw it all inside soft corn torts

FISH TACOS!

mmmhmm.....

delish!

AND THEN

Barbara

says

"Hey, let's get

lunch

at

Bayside

on

Wednesday"

O.K.!!!

So,

Barbara

Natellie, Hillary,

Stephanie, Ruby

and I

went to

Bayside Cafe

and

WE

ALL

HAD

FISH TACOS

(with fresh off- the- boat mahi mahi)

tons of guacamole

and shredded lettuce

salsa with a kick

soft corn tortillas

and

super yummy mahi mahi

Natellie loves fish tacos about as much as I do

she thought that she won the

eating contest

but,

actually

I ate

ALL

my lettuce!

Perfectly

delicious

tacos,

perfectly

wonderful friends

pee in your pants laughs

the

best!!!

p.s.

Right next to Bayside Cafe you can rent Kayaks

and cruise through

the Morro bay estuary -
