The Three Caballeros and the $40 hotel room

So I was standing by the side of the road doing research, when three cabaelleros came riding up.



Jake did not find the episode as interesting as I did. Funniest thing, I think, is that when I returned in the evening to collect scent again, here came the fellows on their way home. They thought I had been there all day.

And if you are wondering what I am doing posting all these blog entries today...I have a $40 hotel room and I'm doing laundry. I'm going to take my second 30-minute shower in just a few. FYI, Motel 6 is very dog friendly and they don't charge a $10 pet fee.

California: Meh

Top to bottom: 1) The Kerr River after it leaves Lake Isabella; 2) a kopje we climbed overlooking Lake Isabella; 3) Bates Canyon Road; 4) Pismo Beach dunes 5) Overlook of Morro Rock from Montana de Oro State Park.

I'd love to say that California captured my imagination the way that Utah did, but I'd be lying outright. California is fabulousy better than Texas, only marginally better than Florida, and pales in comparison to either Utah or Nevada. Liv would beg to differ: California has surfer boys. Alas, we all have our biases.
