California! We made it!
Here we are at our first California rest stop—not impressed. Only two toilets in women restroom worked and only one sink was available. Along our route many stops were closed or lacked good facilities.
We drove through this desert; Joshua trees everywhere! Such interesting landscape!
Of course, no visit to this area would be complete unless you have lunch along Pacific Ocean! Cool, breezy, foggy but oh so lovely!
Then, there are wineries and hills covered with vineyards! And look at those clear blue skies!!!
Oh yeah, we couldn’t pass up Jelly Belly Factory
What to do with Jelly beans instead of eating
Make portrays
Takes many colors
Little information on photography
We did wine tastings at several wineries, Mumm was sparkling at the best!
Lovely grapes on the vine
Our drive through produce valley was fields of veggies and almond trees! Miles and miles of trees! Our country can eat good!
Miles and miles of solar panels! In places, windmills dominate the landscape. In city, solar panels are placed on roof tops of parking covers.
One of the best parts of our visit was having time to have dinner with our dear friends! It was a joy to see them after 12 years! Their daughter is winemaker and gracefully invited us to tasting and tour of her winery!
My friend is a fantastic weaver whom I met in 1978 and we became fast friends. Check out her gallery here
