Cruising round Monterey shopping at Longs Drugstore (two-for-one sunscreen) and gassing up - diesel hard to find. Onto 17-mile drive with magical sea views and seabirds (cormorants and pelicans). Also many expensive houses out of our price bracket.
We are listening to KPIG - "the pig" - best station so far with the coolest music - they are promoting Salinas Rodeo, $400,000 in prize money. Then north on the coast highway into San Francisco - streetcars, SBC Park (home of SF Giants), Fisherman's Wharf (heaving), and out across the Golden Gate for Petaluma. A guy in the city rolls down his window and says, " Did you drive that thing all the way from Ontario? Congratulations!"
The KOA Kampground is very busy with a rock band playing covers by the pool - come back Joan Jett all is forgiven. Up early for breakfast at Pete's Restaurant (open 24 hours) where there is a 1928 Ford Model 'A' Tudor parked out front. Petaluma featured in the movies "American Graffiti" and "Peggy Sue Got Married" - will a white 'T' Bird come cruising by or Harrison Ford show up in his Chevy? Nostalgia is not what it used to be. More coffee please.
