Clarke’s Collectibles

We decided to stop in Nice, CA, to visit Clarke’s Collectibles, a museum of lunchboxes, toys, and similar kitsch. The owner, Deb Clarke, is about as nice a person as you’ll ever meet. As I looked around, I saw at least one lunchbox I’d had as a kid.

After our visit, we checked into the Featherbed Railroad B&B Resort. All the rooms are repurposed cabooses. I felt like I was on “The Wild, Wild West.”

Next: the Devil’s Cauldron.

More Janakpur

Janakpur is probably the dustiest city I’ve ever visited.

After roaming around and filling my lungs with particulate matter, I ended up at the railway station. I became intrigued watching people get on and off the trains.

A bike tour in Vietnam – day 3

The good folks at Grasshopper assume that their clients will be tired after two days, so they schedule a train trip for the third day.
