We are still in California.  Actually we are still in Santa Rosa. Wait, weren't we in Santa Rosa last week? Well, yes.  We drove a few miles forward and a few miles backwards. After my last entry we went North to Cloverdale and spent a few days with our friends Tonny and Ireene.  While we were there Ireene's son Allan came over.  Tonny and Allan both like to cook and we got to enjoy some delicious meals. Many thanks to Tonny and Ireene for being such wonderful hosts and forever friends.

While staying in Cloverdale we returned to Santa Rosa for a day and went to the Charles M. Schulz Museum and (finally) California Carnivores. Both very interesting places. We went wine tasting and saw the house in Bodega Bay where 'The Birds' was filmed.

When we were ready to continue our journey North from Cloverdale I found out that my cousin, who lives about 100 miles South and had been out of town, was back in town. So we back tracked to Mountain View and spent some time with my cousin Bob and his wife Margaret. They are very active in the community and with their children and grandchildren. Thank you Bob and Margaret for your great hospitality and delicious meals.

By this time the brakes on the RV were making some very ugly noises so we stopped at a Midas and got new brakes for the Enterprise. Got a new muffler while we were there.

So we are back in Santa Rosa, ready to continue the forward motion. Stay tuned
