By far, the best Mexican food in the US, Lola’s Kitchen is located in the middle of nowhere: Barstow, California. If you ever happen to be in the area, it’s well worth the stop.

Ah… Sunset over a beach in Thailand… One of the most relaxing things in the world. This picture was actually taken at a small private beach just south of Patong. One of the most beautiful parts of Thailand is its amazing white sand beaches and spectacular sunsets.

Located not far north of Antananarivo, Mahitsy is a typical small town. In this shot, we were taking a water break on a long drive to Mahajanga. A local was walking a zebu across the road. The zebu would later be sold for meat. (And I’d eat a few ounces of it that night for dinner.)

The home of the fictional Tanner family on the Full House sitcom is located in San Francisco California. While this isn’t where the entire series was filmed, it is the house used in the opening credits and throughout the series as what “home” looks like from the outside. The owners have recently painted the door black instead of its original red.
