Hi there everyone,
Well, we have set out on our four day weekend trip to San Juan Bautista to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary! San Juan Bautista is just a few miles east of Monterey. When we set out for Batebel RV Resort on Thursday afternoon after work, we weren’t sure if we were going to make it all the way to San Juan Bautista Thursday night, but we did.
The RV park here is wonderful. All of the sites are very roomy and there are nice hedges separating each site. There are a number of Full Time RVers that live here, but everyone keeps their sites very clean. There are a couple of grassy areas to take the dogs so they can get up a run and blow off some steam. Speaking of dogs, our three traveling companions were excellent as always on the road trip down here. We arrived at the park about 10:30 Thursday evening.
On Friday, we checked in and found out that we needed to move to a different site, which was fine. The new one was even larger than the first one we were in. After we got camp all set up, we headed up to the town of Gilroy to check out this town. Old town Gilroy is so cool to look at, but unfortunately, a lot of the buildings have false facades that are made of granite and other un-reinforced Masonry, so they cannot be occupied. As a result, a lot of downtown is abandoned. Because of the down economy, no one has any money to put in to restoring these buildings to their previous grandeur.
During our tour of Old Town Gilroy, we had lunch at the Garlic City Café. If you are ever in Gilroy, you must check out this place! The location is small but the food selection is wide ranging. The quality is excellent and the prices are reasonable.
After a fair amount of walking through Antique stores, we stopped by Starbucks and then reposed to a local park for a little break to take a load off our feet. As we were headed out of town, we stopped by the Gilroy transit center which is the old Rail station for the town of Gilroy. It is a wonderful place to visit, among the many other attractions to this wonderful city.
We got back to camp before sun-down and we took the dogs for a run on the lawn one more time before our day was done. We have many options on things we can do the next two days of our weekend, so you will just have to tune in to see what we are up to!
Happy camping! – Eric and Carol -
