Seems it never rains in southern California….Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before….It never rains in California…

I grew up with the words of this Albert Hammond song and thought it must be really dry in that state!  Apparently it is right now as there is a drought!  But that is not my experience.  It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I got to visit this great place.  And it was anything but dry.  Lush vibrant landscapes and gentle breezes coming off of the ocean are what is in my memory banks.  I stayed in San Diego for a week and it was heavenly. The food was fabulous and the great places to walk and bike ride were perfection.  I’d like to go back and see some other cities.  The last trip was paid for by a foundation that awarded my husband for his first book.  I need to get him winning awards again!
