Salinas

Nice town, spread over a wide area and containing diversity. At this time of year the open field and foothills drive from where I live to Salinas was beautiful because the rain stopped last night and during the sunny part of the day everything was clean, fresh and beginning to "spring". The fields were all very tidy and prepared for the growing season, with their plastic blankets tucked in at the corners and stretched taut across the acreage. The roads are not yet clustered with fruit transport trucks and farm implements and were enjoyable to travel. I considered stopping by the Steinbeck Center because my daughter-in-law's father is part of the governing board and we've been invited a couple times but haven't made it. I had appointments in the state government offices however so the Steinbeck priority did not get moved high enough to get done, plus I got lost on the way out of Salinas and ended up at the very remote UPS night transfer facility asking directions of the desk staff (which they couldn't provide, which I thought was strange since it was UPS).
