Today was a travel day. We drove from Monterey to Hollywood. It was a long drive and almost all of my photos are from the car. The hardest part of taking pictures from the car is keeping bushes, trees, fences and signs out! The valley between the two mountain ranges is very fertile and full of farms, ranches and vineyards. The hillsides are bright green and all the leaves are coming out on the trees. I tried to find an orchard in bloom, but I guess this part of the state rows celery, broccoli, grapes and strawberries (or the best I could tell). The hills are full of the "California Happy Cows". The actor portrayals on TV have pretty dairy cows being the happy cow, but all I saw was black Angus, a beef cow. I don't know how happy they are, knowing their fate. Maybe that's why TV portrays them as dairy.
We stopped in Pismo Beach for lunch (I remember the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs is tunnelling to Pismo Beach and ends up in the Sahara or someplace like that). So I had to see Pismo Beach! To our surprise, we ran across Alex Bar-B-Que, voted the best restaurant in Pismo Beach. Of course we had to eat there. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the famous Alex French fries which were sprinkled with seasoning (kinda like Lawry's).
As we continued toward LA, we spotted the RV parks here for the retired people. Hey Mom and Dad, look at this, the perfect seaside park. All the RVs are lined up along a road just off the shoreline. Each space guaranteed an ocean view! I think you are missing out on the best view. Dad can go fishing, you can comb for shells and everyone will be happy!!!
Tomorrow we hit Hollywood!
See ya then.
