ReplyDeleteYou find the neatest places to visit! I love the Steinbeck House & Restaurant! And the FOX Movie Theater, the Greyhound Bus Depot, and love the "Mom Cave"!
When i was a little girl and staying at my Grandpa Johnnie's home in Santa Cruz, he would always take me with him to Salinas to a bakery where he bought apple pies! I always loved going with him! I was looking to find a Bakery in the pictures but didn't see one, however i DID see a Waffle Shop!!!
What a great trip!!!

p.s. I don't know any other way to do this but Anonymous.
Diane, Anonymous works fine. I just like to know who is writing. I looked closely at the sign to see if the Waffle Shop was your grandfather's. It was a good trip and was also nice to visit with an old friend or maybe I should say, a friend of long standing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to sit on the top step of the Steinbeck boyhood home and watch the rest of the world go by, but your photo journal helps. Now I sit at a computer screen and see the world through your eyes. Thanks Liz.
