Here are
the cabins. My room mate and I discovered that we had
something in common--we both used to live in Rochester, NH--at the
same time!
We
exchanged e-mail addresses and still keep in contact.

Hidden
Villa Hostel kitchen.
This is
were I was when we learned about the World Trade Center.
Someone came into the kitchen and told us about it. There was
no television so we sat around the radio to try to find out more
about what was going on.

Back
on the highway.
Almost
got in an accident. While driving down the highway at 70 mph, the
cars in front of me were swerving left & right. I didn't
know what they were swerving to avoid until it was right in front of
me--a huge bail of barbed wire was bouncing down the highway toward
me!
Couldn't
swerve because their were cars on both sides of me, so I hit it
straight on, slowed down when it was safe, and pulled over.
It was
wedged tight under my car. Had a hard time pulling it
out. Thought for sure I'd get at least one flat tire--nope,
nothing! Everything was fine!

Big bail of barbed wire that wedged under my car while driving down
the highway. Well, it looked bigger before it got crushed by
my car.
I had
promised a friend of mine that when I got to California I
would find an old mission and buy her a rosary.
I checked
the map and found that the closest mission was San Juan
Bautista. So that was the next stop.
