Hitchcock in San Juan Bautista?

I was wandering around downtown San Juan Bautista yesterday with the camera, of course. So, I think I shall do another week  (June 20 to June 27) of photos of the mission city. 

The arrow points to—what else—Vertigo Coffee Restaurant/Cafe at 81 Fourth Street.

Local Stand Full of Yummy Cherries

It's cherry season. Hurrah, hurrah!

The Ivancovich Family Orchards' cherry stand on Buena Vista Road is now open for business. Hurrah, hurrah! It's the husband and my favorite place to go for freshly-picked local cherries. Three dollars a pound. They've got both the deep red and the red/yellow types. 

The stand is located at 2420 Buena Vista Road. If you're traveling on highway 156, you'll see a truck with a huge cherry sign on the south side of the highway at Buena Vista Road. Just follow the signs to yummy delicious cherries. The stand is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. They hope to stay open until at least the Fourth of July.

Best View

"Stop, stop."

"What?" the husband braked hard.

"Gotta take a picture," I said, opening the door.

Wouldn't you?

This is at the corner of Best Road and Highway 25, opposite the Ridgemark Golf Course. The mountain peak in the distance is Santa Ana Mountain.

Poles in Hollister

Yep. Some lamp poles on San Benito Street in downtown Hollister.
