Greetings From Highway 49 - Page 2

I have this week off from work. Bill and I decided to take a road trip up to the California gold country. We’re in Oakhurst right now. Tomorrow, we’ll be traveling up highway 49.

The hotel we’re staying at tonight is very nice – woodsy and rustic and well maintained. Lots of carved bears and eagles; even a huge Statue of liberty carved from a redwood trunk. We had dinner at the restaurant, and the food was very good.

Then… there are the paintings. Everywhere. Hundreds of them. In the rooms. In the lobby. In the restaurant. And murals. Every room has one; even the exercise room! Landscapes, seascapes, and still lifes of really big flowers. They’re all the work of, Delores; the wife of the hotel owner. She may be no Rembrandt - but bless her 76 year old heart - what she lacks in talent, she makes up in shear volume.
