Albany, California is a tiny town between El Cerrito and Berkeley, California. The “bulb” is a bulb-shaped landfilled peninsula which had been a hippy colony for a while, from what I understand.
Driving back from Palm Springs we decided to take the scenic route via 101, but even more so by trying to stick close to the ocean on Highway 1/PCH through the Morro Bay/Vandenberg Air Force Base area. The clouds were out most of the way, but it was still kind of cool to see a part of the route between San Francisco and Los Angeles that I’ve never seen. We did stop for a bit at Stern’s Wharf in Santa Barbara, and we took some footage as we were leaving Palm Springs itself, before reaching “the 10.”
Shando’s first time in the Monterey area (where my dad was born). Even though we had a lot of fun with the dogs this time, next time we’ll take a trip down there to do less dog-friendly things.
This is one of our favorite shaded dog parks in nearby Castro Valley. This is also the commencement of Shando’s 365 picture project.
We had a good time enjoying the consistently 90-degree-plus weather for a long weekend. It was my first time flying into the PS airport. My good friend George, with the two schipperkes pictured below, let us borrow his car and I crashed at his lovely home one night while Shando was still at his work retreat. George, Shando, and I are pictured in a booth at Lulu’s Restaurant. Lucille Ball made an appearance in our album, too.
