Art Night

On Wednesday nights Bar Alamo has an "Art Night" wherein one is encouraged to produce art. They supply the materials and you supply the creativity. We may have been the only participants but the results were fun.

dusk in Los Alamos

A nice view of the Los Alamos Motel at dusk from across the street as we emerged from the restaurant known as Pico.

The grand finale involved dessert, coffee, tea and a special birthday presentation complete with candle and wish. One hopes that Mrs. had a nice birthday and that her wishes come true.

Our main entree at Pico was agnolotti (above), which was sort of like rectangular ravioli in a mushroom sauce. The little gem salad (below) had tangerine, fennel and pistachio dust. For an appetizer we tried the crispy cauliflower (bottom photo).

Pico

Across the street from the Alamo Motel, in a creatively remodeled historic building (evidently the old general store), was Pico - a "fine dining" restaurant we had never been to where we had made reservations for dinner. I loved this old photo on the wall and assumed it was the same building back in the day, except that the address doesn't match up and it looks more like a bar than a general store.

Bar Alamo

I don't usually drink rosé out of a can, but when I do it's at Bar Alamo, the funny little building in the courtyard of the Alamo Motel. The birthday girl had one of their sake cocktails. Sitting in the garden-like courtyard was very pleasant.

A delightful room - fit for a queen!
