Hanging in the patio at Doña Esther, a Mexican restaurant in San Juan Bautista, is this beautiful mural that depicts how San Juan Valley looked during the mission days. Take a look at the mural, the next time you're in the mission city.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Cool mural! Never been to Dona Esther but it's about time for me to drive to SJB for lunch soon. A fun afternoon. I used to go to scour the used books stores but can't find them anymore. Just read your sidepost about the seaguls hopefully finding their way back to the ocean - funny! always wondered about that..
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing to a used bookstore in Hollister is the Friends of the Library Saturday book sales and the office lobby full of books at the storage place we use. The next time you're in SJB, check out the Vertigo Cafe. They roast their own coffee.
