San Juan, Puerto Rico

Plazuela de la Rogativa has this sculpture by Lindsay Daen which commemorates the day in 1797
when British troops were frightened away by the Bishop and his companions as they held torches
and chanted. Not one of the proudest moments in the history of the British Empire.

When I was there looking to take some photos, I noticed the police kind of giving me the evil eye. Maybe this is a drug dealing area or the home base of some other sort of crime, but at least it was nice to see the cops doing their job and getting ready to smash me on the head with their batons if I did something wrong.

Hotel del Coronado, California

The Del’s visionary founders, Elisha Babcock and H.L. Story,
dreamed of building a seaside resort that would be “the talk of
the Western world.” Since then, the resort has become a living
legend, visited by celebrities, dignitaries and U.S. presidents.
In fact, publisher Rand McNally recognized the Hotel del Coronado
for enjoying “more fame and historical significance than perhaps
any hotel in North America.”


Harrison in 1891. One of the resort’s most famous visitors was England’s
Prince of Wales in 1920. He would later become King Edward VIII, only to give
up his throne in 1936 to marry Coronado divorcee, Wallis Spencer Simpson.
Many have speculated that they may have first met at The Del.

The Del has played host to some of America’s greats including Thomas Edison,
L.Frank Baum and Babe Ruth. Famed aviator Charles Lindbergh was
honored at The Del in 1927 after his successful trans-Atlantic flight. At this
lavish banquet, a replica if Lindbergh’s plane circled the enormous
Crown Room ceiling.

Hollywood has been making movies at The Del for more than a century.
(The first movie shot at the hotel was in 1901.) In 1958, The Del was
the backdrop for the comedy classic Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn
Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The resort has also seen a steady stream
of celebrity visitors from Charlie Chaplin and Humphrey Bogart to Brad
Pitt and Madonna.


What Victorian resort would be complete without a resident ghost? Kate Morgan
checked into the resort on November 25, 1892 and never checked out. Reports of
ghostly happenings have been circulating at The Del ever since, all thought
to be connected to the death of this beautiful young woman.

Uprooted

tell you the truth
I prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but I think you two are forever
and I hate to say it
but you're perfect together
so f*ck you
and your untouchable face
and f*ck you
for existing in the first place

— Ani DiFranco

A child is not a vase to be filled,
