We are in some odd place called Placerville, CA and ,after, a fairly indifferent dinner and a nights sleep are ready to sally forth for breakfast, we have to let the Bacon Monster loose on it or he gets restive!! This California is a HOOT!! Like but not like waht I expected, some parts are arid, as I expected, but some are Very green, and lush, with very tall trees (200ft +)redwoods, visiting Joe and Christina was just splendid, to see Joe in his "Natural Habitat" so to speak, was very relaxing, especially when Christina, did some massage work on me!!!!,we are heading, as mentioned ,for food, then I understand, to see some more of this wonderful CA state, I will post pics when I get somewhere with a more stable server,I want you all to know How much I am suffering on your behalf!!
