Fatty’s (Eagle Rock)

By in 03: Eagle Rock, Food: Los Angeles

An insanely busy week at work for us, hence the slow update. We took our parents to the rather pricey but tasty Vegetarian restaurant Fatty’s.

By in Travel

We spend 5 days in Prague with a day excursion to Kutna Hora (about 1-1/2 hour drive east of Prague). Prague is a very picturesque town. I am glad to experience the city that cultivated some of my favorite artists like Franz Kafka, Alfons Mucha, Jan Svankmajer, Jan Saudek…etc. Perhaps it’s spring, the colors in […]
