Joy! Joy! Joy! Yes, even the local flamingos are frolicking in the rain.
Weather forecasters say rain for the next four days. Whooo-hooo!
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.

Joshua Inn Bed & Breakfast
Want a great place to stay while visiting Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Pinnacles National Park, and the surrounding area?
Check out the Joshua Inn Bed & Breakfast at 712 West Street in historical downtown Hollister, only two blocks from main street, aka San Benito Street.Joshua Inn, owned by Tricia and Greg Harvey, opened last summer. It's a gorgeous, happy yellow Queen Anne built in 1902. It was designed by the infamous California coast architect William H. Weeks and constructed by local builder Edward J. Sparling, according to The Historic Downtown Walking Tour booklet by Sharlene Van Rooy. The original owner was Judson Hamilton, who owned a harness and saddle shop in town.
Right now, the B&B has four bedrooms available. Wouldn't you love to stay in that tower? For more information online, check out the inn's Facebook about page.

The Short Long Alley
How short is Long Alley?
It's half a block long!
It starts (or ends) at College Street and ends (or starts) at McClure Alley.
Still don't have a clue where Long Alley is? You know where the SDES Hall, aka Portuguese Hall, is on 7th Street. Long Alley runs behind it.
The Husband and I wouldn't have known about this possibly shortest alley in town, if it weren't for taking a walk.
