Do you know the way to San Jose?



We certainly do as well as a ton of other locations and restaurants in California.
Brunched in a nice cafe with a young couple from Mountain View and their son. Great company and food. Herbed potato omelets and scrambles.
We headed across the San Joaquin valley through Gilroy the garlic Capitol and past Selma the raisin capitol.
Stopped at 3 antique places and in Gilroy got a free head of garlic with purchase. Now we are safe from vampires.
Gas prices from $3.79 to $4.05
Arrived in Bakersfield and after a search for a motel room and a coin laundry we ate a Marie Callendar's restaurant.
Food was good and great margaritas!
We are on the way home--sigh. Will backtrack part of the way and Carol's on the lookout for a Native American casino along the way.
Today was the best weather--clear, sunny and HOT! We saw actual water at the San Luis reservoir. One crossing of the
San Joaquin river was all sand. When we recrosses down the road it actually was wet. The California aqueduct was full!
We really needed to have a copy of "Gunk" for our new insect collection.
