I hate to be rushed, but right now that is how it is, and I am very tired today, but I did not want to let another day go by without posting something on this blog. So today I will write a bit about a day trip I took last weekend. My next post will be much more fun. My next post will be about Halloween, Mummies, and costumes.
Last weekend my friend, Diane, and I took a bus tour to Julian. Julian is very near to San Diego but inland and in the hills. Julian is famous for apples. So we decided to practice being retired and see what it is like to take a day tour on a bus. It was okay, yes, just okay. We did not have to drive and pay the gas prices but both of decided that driving would be better, especially for such a short trip. Julian is about 2 1/2 hours from Pasadena, but on the bus it was 3 hours.
We had been to Julian before, about a year ago. The last time we were driving around Southern California on a bead hop. We visitied 34 bead stores in 4 days. That was a kick. But this time we were going for the Apple Festival. As I said, it was okay but since it was a festival there was way too many people for us. The best part of the trip for me was that I was sitting next to our tour guide on the bus. Her name was Amy. She was delightful and we had great conversations.
On our way to Julian we passed a Camel Dairy, yes a Camel dairy. It is illegal to sell Camel milk in the USA, so at this dairy there is no milk to buy, but you can lease a Camel and drink the milk from your own leased Camel, IF you want Camel milk. But they make and sell Camel soap. So that was pretty much the highlight of the trip. Needless to say we will not be taking another day tour to Julian.
So like I said, my next post will be a LOT MORE FUN. I love Halloween and so do my kids and grandkids; and I will tell you the funniest Mummy story ever, so stay tuned..............
