SFII_15
#31 The Shed. There are two doors; the normal one is entrance, the tiny one is exit.

SFII_29
#32 Unique place for lunch, highly recommend, the only downside is that it's pretty crowded...

SFII_26
#33 Comwhoring :p

SFII_27
#34 Chean learns the tricks too :p

SFII_30
#35 Tortilla chips with guacamole & salsa sauce. It was ok, edible, my fave Mexican restaurant in Portland, Por Que No? has better chips & guacamole!

SFII_32
#36 Garlic bread.

SFII_33
#37 Order mushroom soup. Sorry, I just don't know how to appreciate Mexican cuisine, can't have them three days in a row @.@

SFII_31
#38 See! So heavy & fattening! It's all red beans, chili, cheese, and rice. Say "Christmas" if you want red & green chili on the same plate like Chean, a new term we picked up in New Mexico.

#49 The chapel is known for its unusual helix shaped spiral staircase (the "Miraculous Stair"), an exceptional work created by French carpenter Francois-Jean "Frenchy" Rochas (Wikipedia, 2011).

SFII_52
#50 Take a closer look. Nothing so miraculous right?

Not until you see this...

#51 How insane! Was that possible? The stairs was built by a small number of primitive tools including a square, a saw and some warm water and constructed a spiral staircase entirely of non-native wood; there were absolutely no nails used and no supporting pole up the center.

God is simply amazing. I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for reading.



God bless,
