Mysterious Ways

Diverted from LA and Santa Barbara the travelers routed through the unexplored interior, a land of mystery for them with UFO style Magritte cloudsJoshuas and other strange trees, forests of windmills, mountains of the moon, peace trains and Bakersfield traffic.At last, 650 miles and 10 hours later they reached more familiar territory in El Paso de Robles – which does rather sound like an interesting dance.Algretto combined missionary grandeur with a dash of Californian kitsch but made the Travelers welcome, feel close to their destination, briefly forget the shameful Republican Scrooges’ tax plan and despite it, feel some seasonal cheer.
