The music on both albums is like an elavtaor ride in paradise. But my happiest moment of the day: Finding two large aqua mugs, shaped like seahorses, raised letters on one side that say Trader Vic's, and on the other side "of Hawaii" ($2 each). There's no maker's mark on the bottom, in fact they sort of look like pottery craft stuff as they have a mold line on the bottom. But the glaze and weight seem better than most craft stuff. I've never seen one's like this before, anyone have any info?
