No signal

 

No anything, no signal, no WiFi, no way to connect, 1st World problem I know .hopefully as we get into town there will be some otherwise we will have to find a Best Buy and hijack their WiFi .

A long day of driving through the agricultural parts of California, vineyards giving way to rows and rows of orange and lemon trees, sheep and goats in fields and the occasional un identifiable roadkill. Unidentifiable because until you come to North America my only experience of some of these creatures is in books or on TV. It definitely wasn’t a skunk, skunks smell when you drive past them on the road, kind of like fox but stronger and it sticks in your throat, this didn’t, probably a racoon then!

 Having driven through a town called Pleasanton yesterday and finding that it was, indeed, pleasant, we had the dubious distinction of matching the pair driving through Unpleasanton, the actual name of the town escapes me but California is starkly the haves and the have nots laid bare in wide leafy manicured streets and scruffy encampments on the edges of town.
