Nicole, Buffalo Bill, and I explore the small town of Julian, California.

“One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.” – Iris Murdoc

Welcome to Julian, California!

Julian is near the California Wolf Center, which I wrote about yesterday.  My new friend, Nicole and I stop in Julian and explore this tourist town.  

Julian is known most for its apple crop.  It’s pies and cider has been popular for about 100 years and they draw a big tourist crowd.  Factor in that Julian is set in some beautiful mountains, when Nicole and I stop the streets are busy with people milling in and out of the stores, restaurants, and shops.  Of course like any solid tourist town, there are horse drawn carts as well, leaving piles of horse poop.  

Julian, California is famous for it's apples.

Horse poop seems like is always present in tourist towns.

Courage. Strength. Freedom.

Nicole and I shot some photographs in the shops then head for home.  It has been a long day.  Tomorrow, Nicole and I attempt to fix the washing machine and I apply some lessons from a book I just read.

Create Our World.
