The trip was everything it could have been and wetter. I have never seen California so green before, and it rained almost every day, except the three we spend at Disneyland. The ride in the van was boring but comfortable.. It's a great cross country bus for 8 people.
I stopped at Dave Beans to pick up some parts and return some parts. As it was I could only return parts, cause they told me that despite my dire need, and my order from a couple of months ago, the parts they were going to get for me haven't been made in years.( a phone call would have been nice )
Still it was kind of clensing to roam around their warehouse. A lot of the parts they had, I had too.. But I was pretty upset when I left because of the wasted trip, and wasn't very good company for my fellow travellers for a couple of hours after that.
I met a very nice fellow from San Fransisco and delivered my hard top to him. We met at our hotel in Sacremento, and he got there about 10 minits before me..( Lotus people have great timing..)
The people who we visited in Madera have a neighbor with a lemon tree or two.. We squeezed a two liter bottle worth and brought the stuff home. What a differance real lemon juice makes.. You guy's are so lucky to have trees like that..
All in all a great trip, but now I need a vacation from my vacation..Ha ha..
