_21 November ‘08 Friday

It was a quick drive up to Benicia this morning to get together with Bob and Laurie.  We met them this morning at Lindsay Art Glass & Blowing Company.  The last time we were with Bob and Laurie was in St. David, Utah and now getting to see them again was great.  They have traveled the states extensively and it is always good to talk with them and get some insight as to where we should consider going and what sites that we might see.  Well back to Lindsey Art…  The showroom was filled with some wonderful art glass from which most of it came out of the back room.  They had some great looking table lamps, along with vases of all size and description, and of course jewelry…  The prices seemed quite good although we didn’t find anything that we couldn’t live without.   A stroll to the backroom took us to a couple of chairs located just safe of the furnaces and in the company of a couple of artists.

_They were blowing a small series of vase with a design that matched throughout the group.   We were all very impressed with the ease and ability of which they worked with this molten glass.  After being so impressed with the glass work, we wondered across the street to see if we could be marveled with a great meal.  Being a little lucky, we found that the Mexican restaurant we heard about was really quite good as well.  Maybe the reason it seemed so good was because we were so engrossed with our conversations that no matter how good or bad the food was we most likely wouldn’t have noticed it….all kidding aside, we all thought the food was very good.  Laurie took upon herself to “entertain” us with things to do in Benicia…  Lindsay Art Glass was the first place and then it was a quick tour by the original “State Capital” building as we were on our way to lunch.  Laurie had heard some great things about the Benicia Historical Museum so that was our next stop.  The Camel Barns Complex is where the museum is located as well as a collection of artifacts and a workshop.  This was a great stop for us to get a look at what the early town of Benicia was and the military history of the 1850’s and after.  The military history included a time of experimenting with the use of camels, imported from the Mideast, as pack animals.  After the Civil War, the experiment was abandoned with the remaining camels being shipped to the Benicia Arsenal and auctioned off to the public.  Well this was a full day that just seemed to fly by…again, it was really good to see Bob and Laurie and we look forward to doing it again, although it will be quite awhile due to both their and our travels into different directions for a couple of years.  After saying our “good-bye”, Louise and I found ourselves thinking about “what’s for dinner?”…  It wasn’t until we came to the corner that heads off to Isleton that we made up our mind… “What do you say about hitting Isleton for crawdads?”

_This was going to be different, as neither one of us have had the “experience” of Crawfish or Crawdads…  Well, it was an interesting experience, tasty, but “interesting”.  We had 3 pounds of these Crawdads between us

Picture
_and if they were to take and weigh the skins and un-eatables I think there might be 2.8 pounds left in the “skin-bowl”…  Oh well, we did and we enjoyed…would we do it again?  Probably, but just to try a different presentation, such as in New Orleans.
