how's my drinking?

Morgan Hill used to be the world’s largest producer of mushroom until a few years ago, and by way of celebration they hold an annual Mushroom Mardi Gras!  Honest.  A 2day local festival of food (containing many mushrooms!), local drinks, live music, art (whatever that is?!) and other stuff!  They close off a few streets and everybody hits the sunshine (80 C) and has a jolly lovely time!

Its also “Memorial Weekend” all over the states, which is like our Remembrance Sunday, so Monday is a public holiday and Tam and Robin are loving the idea of a three-day w/e!!  hence the camping.

We’ll be doing this for a couple of hours before heading off with Tam and Robin camping for 2 days in San Juan Bautista (St John the Baptist).  A beautiful old ‘western town’ it is quite small but lots to do, eat and drink!  And they have a proper Steakhouse in a former brothel.  Mmmm, salad bar!
