Sunday, November 24, 2013, A Weekend With Friends, Los Gatos, CA

After hearing of our plight, (being stuck in the parking lot of Golden State Truck & Trailer Repair in Salinas, CA) Richard (Bob's brother) extended an open invitation for us to stay in his home (about 60 miles away). It did not take much arm twisting to get us away from our parking lot prison for the rest of the weekend.

Richard has a beautiful home in the hills of Los Gatos. The area has very few houses since a lot of the land is nearly vertical. It made for a very peaceful setting. We spent the day with Richard and his daughter, Darian, and our friend, Bob. Sam was invited, too. It only took a few minutes for Sam and Richard's dog, Cody (a three-year-old, 100 pound yellow Lab), to establish their boundaries. We had a great time - good food, conversation and wine and for a short while we forgot all about the motorhome.
