Saturday started, as all recent Saturdays, with an early morning ride south to Rancho Santa Margarita, (arguably, the city with the longest name in the US), for my grandson's soccer game.
X100s for all images.
Claire, the granddaughter, all decked-out in soccer garb ready to root for her brother.
Luke, the grandson, wolfing down some energy prior to kick-off.
We continued south to San Juan Capistrano for some breakfast. We started with a pomegranate mimosa and a pomegranate-orange mimosa. They were quite refreshing.
We walked along the old historic/touristry area of Capistrano, Los Rios, still recovering from Halloween.

Then, for the heck-of-it, Mary Lou suggested that we continue south to an antique mall/area in Solana Beach, just north of San Diego.
Solana Beach
Cedro Street was full of those consignment antique warehouses and some bonafide (expensive) shops filled with antique and newly crafted wares.
Then we stumbles across Steve Adams' shop.
Steve Adams travels through South-East Asia and collects hand crafted folk art.
His shop is huge and if one didn't see the price tags, one felt as if they were in a museum.
And then there is the basement. Where all these handcrafted artifacts all piled up, a 3-D catalog of cultures and ages.
Piles and crates of wonderful stuff.
Unlike a museum, you could touch and purchase the art.
