When is a chicken in San Juan Bautista not running wild?
When it is an item in a gift shop in that town.
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.

Chickies Running Wild
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
San Juan Bautista is known for being home to one of the 21 California missions that were founded by the Franciscan friars of Spain. It is also known for the chickens that run wild through the downtown streets. Many tourists think the wild chickens are quaint. Many San Juan residents think otherwise. Check out this story about the Mission City's decision to hire a chicken wrangler to thin out the flocks.

¡Música!
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
Last Sunday was the annual fiesta celebrating the 214th anniversary of the founding of Mission San Juan Bautista on June 24, 1797. A great band was playing that sunny afternoon. Wish I'd caught the band's name.

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.
