Walking along Calle Forteleza, I have encountered this store front on several occasions. Polo Norte (The North Pole) was a soda company founded in 1902. It is given credit (blame?) for the invention of Champagne Kola, a favorite in the Caribbean.
While the beautiful tiles are still present, the business is not, but building is home to wine bar, whose specialties are made from the soda that originated there.
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
