You never know what you may see while walking just before sunset.
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.

Glancing into Back Yards
I turn away from the historical hoosegow in the San Juan Bautista State Historic Park. Voila! An enormous-looking barrel is in my sight. Of course, I had to click the camera.

Christmas Decor in San Juan Bautista
This is one of the beautiful panels that are part of the Christmas decorations that line the main drag of San Juan Bautista. I think most, if not all, of the panels of of the saints for which the California missions are named.

Fancy Brickwork Leads to Burritos
You'll find this patch of brick pavement in front of La Villa de Jerez Taqueria at 512 San Benito Street in downtown Hollister. The taqueria serves yummy burritos by the way.
The year 1924 must mean when the pavers were laid. I've wondered whether this shop was the only one with a brick entry way. Anyone know what business was there then? I think the storefront was a shoe store during the 1960s. But, I could be confusing it with a shop in Salinas.
The name "Simons" may refer to the Simons Brick Company, which was a Los Angeles company that manufactured bricks during the 1920s.
