dear travlin man with family
while at gowesty you will no doubt feel a little peckish
try
Celias Garden Cafe Inc
1188 Los Osos Valley Road, Los Osos, CA 93402-3252, United States
should you get your west back late in the day you will want to camp the
night at
Montana de oro state park
great eucalyptus forest on the road in and crashing surf waves all night
"cars go past my window like the waves down on the beach"
you may want to go to morrow bay and see the Gibraltar of the pacific but
the rest of morrow bay is sea shell sales outlets .....:p
also while in Los osos there is a bakery .... not an OMG we must go bakery
.... but a good one called carlocks which is located in a mall on Los osos
road or drive ...and if you have to walk everyWhere go to Jimmy bumps pasta
house
give our best to Lucas if you see him at gowesty ...
regards
