A little while ago, we took a roadtrip on the West coast of the USA.
Outside Los Banos, on highway 5, we found a little restaurant called the Apricot Tree. It was stuck amongst gas stations and the other boring things you find when you turn off at one of those signs that says "Gas Food Lodging".
But the Apricot Tree had a little decor pecadillo. The walls inside were covered in retro tin lunchpails.
The lunchpails were arranged according to category, with a little sign below them. For instance, in "Cops, Spies and Detectives" there were lunch pails showing:
- Charlies Angels
- Nancy Drew
- The Hardy Boys
There were some lunchpails, obviously more valuable than the others, in a glass cabinet.
Fluffy Bear was very impressed with one showing Mike Mercury in his Supercar and another showing Lost in Space.
It was a strange and fascinating lunch...
I love these flavors of America...
