“C&H, C&H, Mommy uses it to bake her cakes”…

If you didn’t sing this as you went across the Carquinez Bridge as a kid, you not like us.

"…I’ve had a billion favorite days…"
"…there are great stories wherever you are.
Just be open, and listen. And be curious and
gems will just come pouring out."
"…human-caused… noise is the biggest challenge for wildlife."

A teal door lit up by the morning sun. There is a padlock on the door and a neon sign of a martini that has been turned off in the window. There’s bricks on both sides of the door and fall leaves in the foreground.

A vintage hotel marquee of the “hotel Del Rio”. The sign has neon lights around all of the letters, the outside of the sign, a star on the bottom and above the word “Rio”” there is a neon martini.

There is a hand painted sign for the “del Rio” on the window. There is plastic taped up behind the window to disclose what is on the inside. In the reflection of the glass, there is a palm tree contrasted up against the sky.

This place has probably got some stories! #isleton #delrio #bayareabackroads
