On the Road – Day 8

We spent the morning in Tracy, CA. My impression of Tracy was that it is a nice, inland Californian urban town. I can’t remember why, exactly, and it’s not in my notes, but, my boyfriend alluded to the fact that a lot of people’s impressions of Tracy, CA, are not consistent with mine. I could only conclude that people who had a poor impression of Tracy probably:

* Had not actually been to Tracy;
* Have been to Tracy and had a bad experience there;
* Have been to Tracy and only saw the town with a very narrow view.

In any event …

We ate at La Costa, a taqueria with an outdoor walk up counter for ordering and picking up food.
I liked this place a lot. The food was good and the atmosphere nice. While there was some seating inside, most of the restaurant was outside and comprised of a large patio area shaded by a row of palm trees.
There was a nice, breezy, tropical feel to the place.

We spent the rest of day in Manteca running errands. We enjoyed a nice walk to the bank - twice. I’m not sure why we went twice.
Maybe we forgot something and had to go back …

Around 6:30pm we started driving towards Traver.
On the way we stopped at the Black Bear Diner, a nice restaurant with a bear theme.
We ate dinner and then got back on the road.

We drove a bit more and then stopped for the night.
We parked in lot across the street from Bravo Farms (neat place!).

Light day of driving – only 185 miles.

On The Road – Day 7

No Notes for day 7. Weird. I could have sworn I took notes every day I was on the road …

It is also weird that two months have gone passed and I have not posted on this blog.
Well, a lot happened during the holiday months of November and December.
I’ll write a little more about that in a later post.

For now, I’m going to pull out my notes for day 8 and get cracking on my next post for this blog.

Stay tuned.
