Signs and Wonders ~ Hawaiian Style

On our "Island Loop" today, we stopped somewhere new: Dean's Drive-In, in the town of Kaneohe, who's claim to fame is that they were featured on Guy Fieri's show, "Diners, Drive-In's & Dives" ~~ and who's autographed poster is proudly displayed as the trophy to prove it.

I loved the motto:  "Local boy, local food".  

But I especially loved the sign posting their hours of operation ~ it's truly Hawaiian ~ Since the photo is poor, let me repeat it here for easier reading ~

Signs and Wonders ~ in Iwatayama, Japan

Here's another in my "Signs and Wonders" series.  As we travel, some of the most entertaining things we see is signage that...... 

well, sometimes it just gets a little lost in translation.

Of course the Monkey Park is not only a monkey!

Whatever were we thinking.....

Don't Travel With Fruit

Occasionally in our travels we see something which, I'm sure, is not the least bit strange to the person who lives there ~ but to those of us eavesdropping on a new culture, seems very strange indeed ~ 

Such was my discovery of  the "Dog Brigade of Senasa".

Signs and Wonders ~ Madrid, Spain

As we travel about the globe, one of the most entertaining things we get to witness are the "Signs and Wonders" along the way. 

 Especially hilarious are the "Lost in Translation" episodes.
