In Want of Whimsy

Karma’s When I Feel Like It Blog – In Want of Whimsy Challenge

My friend Karma over at Karma’s When I Feel Like It Blog offered up a whimsical challenge at the beginning of June. I didn’t remember to look for whimsy while I was on my trip but I did use this weekend to stretch my whimsical creativity with fun items around the house. Let’s see how well I fared with my display of whimsy. Be sure to check out the comments on Karma’s original post to see how other readers of her blog let loose their whimsical nature.

Restaurants

Weekly Photo Theme – Restaurants

My friends exploring these weekly photo themes with me were very generous again with the theme for the week I was to be at Disney. They suggested restaurants and I thought I would have too many choices so this one should be a cake walk for me. Of course, when I get into the World my mind sometimes (OK, always) forgets the rest of the real world and I fell a little short on this one. I did manage to get my head back into the game on the last day to manage a few images from Epcot.

My first image is from the Boardwalk area. There are numerous places for eating and entertainment but it is the atmosphere I love the best. One afternoon as I walked back toward Epcot, this sign for Kouzzina caught my eye. Kouzzina is a restaurant by Cat Cora and features a Greek inspired menu. I have never had the opportunity to eat there but I think the next trip it should be on my list.

Walking around Epcot’s World Showcase there are opportunities to eat at each of the country pavilions. The next two images are of two of the more popular places to eat. In France the up-scale Le Chefs de France and in England the pub styled Rose & Crown.
