Would we?

Would we come to Southern California and not stop at Angelo’s for a hot pastrami sandwich?

I don’t think so.

Meanwhile,

The cactus exploded.

Now we’re back to Becky and Brian’s in Colorado to resume our previously scheduled trip.

When we were kids

Vista was right on the way to Lake Wohlford where Mom and Dad had a vacation trailer.  From Long Beach we would drive down Pacific Coast Highway (small towns and stoplights all the way) and turn left at Oceanside and past the bird sanctuary on our way through Vista to Escondido.  The bird sanctuary was one of our landmarks to know we were getting close to being there, answering that ever-recurrent question “are we there yet?”

A nice backyard for sitting and visiting at Barbara’s.
