Where Am I Now?


Where am I now? Will somebody please tell me! Actually this is a repost, and one of our smart bloggers suggested I use it for this theme day photo. It really is in Mazatlán, but looks like it could be elsewhere; the Middle East, perhaps. The restaurant's name is SHEIKS (pronounced "shakes" by the Mexicans).

It does look like something out of the Ali Baba/Middle East stories.

To answer you questions, the cigar boxes were available for sale at $5 a piece.

I would have been very confused - but I've seen that gorgeous photo before Kate and so know that it's Mexico!! :-)

Kala said...

I totallly remember this post and thought I was transported back in time only because the photo is so stunning and distinctive it is very memorable - i would say this is fantasy island =)

alice said...

Oh yes, it could be in a dreamland also! This building is like some imaginary palaces on unknown planets in Star Wars...Bonne journée, Kate!

I like Shakes. I suppose the place shakes? Your photography is so nice.

My Theme Day is of a city unto itself, with its own zip code, and a portrait of the "Peashooter" at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.

I thought it was a film studio. Great photograph.

To me the scene looks like a story book version of a castle in old England.

Jilly said...

Good to see this lovely photo again. Perfect choice for today.

And thank you Kate for the muguet!

riniroo said...

Wow, it looks like there is a waterfall running from underneath the restaurant. Great shot! I wouldn't have guessed Mexico.

Check out my theme day pic:

I remembered it too---how could you not?! It's magical...and reminds me a bit of our Kealani Resort on Maui! Happy May Day! I will unveil my theme package in a photo tomorrow! :-) I can't believe no one has guessed it yet!!!

I was here yesterday looking at the great photos you've taken. Your blog depicts Mexico wonderfully. Each photo tells a story. Very nice.

i remember this marvellous structure! Hmmm..now that you mentioned it up, it can be mistaken for mid-east

Two&2 LA said...

Do you know what kind of restaurant is it? Does it serve Middle-Eastern food? Or just for confusion's sake, they serve Mexican or Chinese food in there? hahaha!

Yes, very Dubai-ish!

It looks like a sci-fi Aladdin. What's it like inside, Kate..have you ever eaten there?
