Casa de Blog
I think Kathy would agree that one of great failings as a husband is that I've never, during any of our road trips down to LA (all 3 of them), allowed us to stop at Casa De Fruta, the weird rest stop off the side of Pacheco Pass. I'm not quite sure what the claim to fame of Casa de Fruta is supposed to be. As far as I can tell, it appears to be a fairly run of the mill fruit stand that they happened to build a big rest area around, each component of which is entitled "Casa de" something.
See, I kid you not. You've got your "Casa de Diner", your "Casa de Gas", your "Casa de RV Park". Kathy was greatly intrigued and once wanted to stop there, but it was Thanksgiving and I had just sat in traffic for three hours getting out of the Bay Area and wasn't quite in a "Casa" frame of mind. But in retrospect, I've gotta admit it's impressive that they were able to make a run of the mill rest stop a real destination just by putting the words "Casa de" at the beginning of everything on the signs.
So, anyway, we didn't stop at Casa de Fruta. Little did I know that would later become Kathy's ultimate symbol of how I'm no fun. That and not wanting to go to Tijuana during our last weekend trip to San Diego.
Anyway, I have officially learned my lesson and have pledged not to make the same mistake on this trip. We are stopping at every freaking Casa de Fruta we pass on this whole trip, no matter tourist-trappy. Including, hopefully, the mother of all Casas, Wall Drug, a truly bizarro drug store located in Wall, South Dakota.
Take that, Casa de Fruta. Do you have an 80-foot dinosaur statue? No, I didn't think so.

Thank you for getting that image of pork rinds away from the top of your blog. It made my stomach turn each time I saw it.
Oh! And how could you forget "Casa de Zoo"?
Okay, the picture of Wall Drug wasn't working when I looked at this post before...now I see that it's a picture of a Jackalope which is clearly awesome.
Awesome like the time that Kathy saw a Jackalope when we were in Austin.
I think you should know that Kathy was so amused by your last comment that it made her snarf sparkling water out her nose last night. Just for the record.
