The time of day we arrived was perfect.
The lighting inside and out was soft.
The air was cool and gentle.
I felt relaxed and welcome, but also
nervous and wildly curious to run into every
hallway, peek into every bolted door crack,
feel sharp temperature drops,
hear whispers...
I was so ready to soak it all up.
Old hanging lights in the worn wood bar
and the
sun setting across the water provided
a "glad you are here" glow...
We checked in at the bar across the street
and then wandered all around the mansion brothel
looking for stories and locked rooms
and secrets to get into...
so much to see, but there's also
500 beers summoning me.
Calling me into a bar
with wild dead
animals, skin and brain cells...
I can also warn you of the "fuckin-A"
Russian NO FEAR whore who
will entertain your men right in front
of you. Watching her work was awesome.
She must have learned somewhere down
that long-ass road she's been on
that guys like to be told they are "Trouble",
and want women who think
they are B A D....
She tried her hardest to make Josh
dance like John Travolta carrying a red can of paint.
I could also get really into how
she was dressed and the way she moved
and how much I Hate Fried Chicken,
but we'll save that for later so we
can stay focused on this trip you
are dying to take.....
Saturday morning after our 11 am check out
we hit up a breakfast joint
and antique store in Martinez.
I got the $4 breakfast special #4. from
Victoria's cafe,
and the August 1965 playboy for $3.
Jesse: Chicken Fried Steak.
Reuben for Mandee
a scramble for kandis
my english muffin was the PERFECT breakfast sandwich
FUEL FOR THE...
I've been dying to go here.
BEST 24 hour trip there is!
Love,
