It is more and more difficult to impress girls these days.  We traveled to DC and visited the coolest of museum of all time.  The only thing caught their eyes are the VW Beetle found in the space station of the Star War movie.

Liste De Seau De Paris - #3 Fashion of the World

France 2013, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

Stolling down Champs-Elysees, we can feel all the grandeur and glamour Paris. Different from 5th Ave, or Madison Ave, there are two car showrooms: Mercedes Benz and Peugeot, right on Champs-Elysees. And who dare to take the wedding picture in the mid of busy street? (Not sure if it is legal in NYC)

Liste De Seau De Paris - #2 Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

Visit Museum O'Say to visit this famous lady, Mona Lisa. The actual size of this painting is smaller than my imagining. However, the her enjoyment is presented vividly. The presenter did a great job to put this lady in the very sleek environment with timeless pleasure. Well, since she is so famous that it always surrounded by people, lots of people. Zozo and Mommy were lucky enough in the first row to visit her.

Peaceful Moment

We revisited this antique shop almost ten years after. It was much quieter than I remembered. However, if you carefully browse each display in the store, you almost can hear history is whispering around the room and filled your head.

I was overwhelmed by those noises, and stepped outside the showroom. I spotted this beautiful meadow and found my piece of quiet.

Different kind of Vietnamese

Untitled, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

When thinking of Vietnamese food, we usually think of those places in Chinatown. However, we kind of forgot that there were some French period in Vietnamese history as well.

When thinking of Tenafly, we rarely think about Vietnamese; however, this little quint place reminds us that part strange counter of European taste in that beautiful far east country.

If you are in New York City and you see this Wafels and Dinges sign, the you got to chase them down to have one or two Belgian Waffles with hot chocolate.

Where Master Lives

One Summer Day in NYC, originally uploaded by szachko.

There are many famous photography about New York City. There are numberless famous photographers in New York City. However, Jay Maisel stands out as a living legend. At age of 80, Jay still runs works shop and training courses.

People always mention his 72 rooms mansion over his art work. However, if you've ever work around this "Mention", then you would find out how humble this place is.  He earned every inch of this historical building and generous shared his state and visions with others.

NYC downtown neighborhood decline and raise several time, Jay persists his quality of work from the day 1.  Standing in front of master's door steps, I am eager to  pursuit the giant's steps.

Pepperland Cafe

Pepperland Cafe, originally uploaded by szachko.

Located in the center of South Berwick, Pepperland Cafe is a secret gem for this town. The decoration is west village like art gallery while the outside of the cafe looks like a typical store fronts seen in New England area. Staff is Maine-like friendly. Tea selections present in menu are quite interesting. The brunch selection are great. Will love to come back to try more. One thing is out of ordinary is that there is a wall mounted 42" plat panel TV at the 2nd of Cafe showing all the art collection. Not sure what the purpose is? Well, this is Maine. It could mean anything...

Maroon Cafe
