Jig-a-dee-jog

Damn computer. I had a post about our trip 1/2 done when everything locked up and went to hell. I am exhausted after a 6 hour trip home from SLO - I HATE CALI TRAFFIC - but here are the highlights:

***first stop - Denny's. I know, that sounds pathetic, but it was a yummy meal, with great service. Plus there were HUGE sunflowers growing along the front path.

***Super 8 - clean (but small) room, average price, TINY pool, plenty of parking, free continental breaky that we did not partake of, and several channels covering the DNC.

***FOOD - we ate so much that we finally had to skip a meal to recover. There were gigantic burritos, a delicious mushroom/tomato risotto, omelettes, pancakes, Killer Cornbread, fried sushi rice balls, garden burgers, garlic bread and roasted corn fresh off the grill, waffles, salt water taffy, french toast, and snacks from our picky-nicky basket. Sheesh. And I have to get weighed tomorrow.

***Exercise - we walked up and around a big hill. We walked all over the Botanical Garden. We walked up and down the boardwalk in Morro Bay. We walked along every street in downtown SLO hundreds of times (although we didn't go into Bubblegum Alley - yuck) both before and during the Farmer's Market. We walked along the beach in Avila Beach. We walked through every aisle of several used bookstores (Oh, for a bookstore of that caliber in our area...). We walked up the three flights of stairs to our room. There was much walking to be had.

There is much more to say. But my head hurts enough to prevent me from articulating it. Time to stop staring at this screen and lounge in front of the idiot box.

PS - the kitties all survived, seemingly unharmed, although they are all a little desperate to keep us in sight, and I don't think they are happy with another open suitcase in the living room.
