Days 7 & 8: Santa Maria to Paso Robles
Friday April 13, 2012
Well, I’d love to report the harrowing experiences I had with the rain and the hail and the nasty weather that the Central Coast has experienced the last few days. Unfortunately, I can only report that I spent the time safe and warm and happy and holed up in lovely hotels eating great meals and drinking fine wine.
On last report, I had made my way from Solvang to Santa Maria, and I had checked into the Historic Santa Maria Inn. Built in 1917, the Santa Maria Inn is located in the city of Santa Maria, a town of about 100,000 halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Additionally there are several ghosts that haunt the hotel.
