Old fence. New fence.
That's the view from the parking lot of Pacific Harvest Seafoods in San Juan Bautista.
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.

How Green is Our Valley
Did anyone else think it took quite a long while for the hills and mountains surrounding Hollister to turn really, really green? I'm glad it finally did. As they say, better late, than never.

Perspective
This is another view from the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. If you can repeat that several times as you climb up the trail, without breathing too awful hard, you're in pretty good shape, I say.
I also say that every day is Earth Day.

Vertigo
Alfred Hitchcock filmed some scenes of his film Vertigo in San Juan Bautista. The movie came out in 1958 and starred James Stewart and Kim Novak. What I liked most about the movie was seeing how places looked in San Francisco and Monterey back then. Check out this link for a clip of Vertigo.
If you happen to go through the museum of Mission San Juan Bautista, you'll find that display of Hitchcock in the room shown below. By the way, if you want a place to rest your feet as you sip a cup of tea or coffee in San Juan Bautista, check out Vertigo Coffee.
