Picadilly Circus Budget Hotels
Piccadilly Circus is central London's busiest spot, but budget Piccadilly Circus hotels are hard to find. Check out the Regent Palace Hotel (sweet) in Piccadilly Circus and the Piccadilly Backpacker's Hostel (not so much).

Mexican Candy Store in Rosarito Beach
Once a week, I attend a Spanish conversation group, and we used this photo of Mexican candy to learn not only the names of kinds of Mexican candy, but more about obscure-to-USA folks Mexican candy favorites with secrets, like boxes with hidden reserves of caramel. What a sweet treat trying the Mexican candy in this Rosarito Beach Baja candy store was. And as elsewhere in Baja, there really aren't local Baja specialties, so you'll be sampling sugary stuff from all over Mexico.
