from morning weather to horseradish. Buro gray and gloomy, and on top of rain in June, who supposedly never happen here comes (do I always have to mislead any anomaly?). in connection with the situation, zrezygnowalysmy the plan to visit San Capistrano Mission, and we went to the local library, where my aunt rented guides to Peru, I - after the great canyon, and for that I bought on sale next book already in the collection Groucho Marx. foodstuff after shopping and lunch at home but we decided not to get the weather (the spirit podrozniczny not sleeping) and we moved to the ranch of Los Alamitos, a dozen or so miles north of Huntington Beach. we got there in full sun.
Rancho Los Alamitos, located on one of the long past is not populated hills, covers 85,000 acres, or 340 km2. what is currently made available for tourists, it retained the original dwelling house, barn (currently under renovation) and the beautiful gardens (palms, bamboo, cactus garden, and in the billions of small, charming corners). oprowadzilysmy the gardens themselves, the house and showed us a very nice, talkative older gentleman-volunteer guides.
ranch was one of the five parts of the huge rancho los nietos, passed in 1784, Manuel Nieto by Governor Pedro Fages. over the years, passed from hand to hand, from merchants to customers, until 1880, when it was bought by john Bixby and it was already in the family bixbych to 1967 (in 1967, has been forwarded to the City of Long Beach, which has since been funding the maintenance facility).
foundation of a dwelling was constructed in 1800 and within a few years turned into a large, spacious property. interior is preserved exactly as it zostaliwi last inhabitants. furniture, souvenirs, pool table, old style refrigerator, paintings and photographs. very interesting and pleasant place, and at the same piece of California history and western states.
came back home for dinner and then we went still for a moment on the beach and pier, and obfotografowac to see the sunset (photos, unfortunately, all this sucks, but once at the end of the thigh. A must!). the beach crowds, as it supposedly happens on Saturday, when family, friends, friends come together, pale fire (on the beach every few meters there is a furnace for public use, do not reserve seats, and just first come first served). very scenic and the summer have. if only in Opole was the ocean ...
ps. curiosity. palm trees in California are artificial asset. as this is a desert area, nothing like that here rose to 1920. when someone decided to convert to the more attractive california district, brought the cuttings pile, and so it began. the current price per podrosnieta palme already a little can go up to $ 40000th
