Grab a cup of coffee at “Top Dog<\/strong>” on Main Street, Morro Bay<\/strong>. \u00a0We had avoided this place for two years because we thought it was like Top Dog in Berkeley on Dwight, and you know we already have a favorite hotdog stop at this Bay. \u00a0Well, we looked in, and saw: \"SLO<\/a>\u00a0 It is a coffee shop with what looks to be good food. \u00a0But we did coffee. \u00a0I had Mexican Mocha. \u00a0It was good.<\/p>\n

A good start to follow the Nine Sisters<\/strong> away from Morro Bay. \u00a0They lead to San Luis Obispo, home of the Mustangs and Cal Poly. No pictures of it, but we did drive around the campus, amazed by the bicycles. \u00a0We both know though that as far as bike on campus is concerned, UC Davis wins hands down. \u00a0I think they have 23,000 bikes on campus for the 21,000 students. \u00a0That’s how it looks anyway.<\/p>\n

The first attraction though was the Mission at San Luis Obispo<\/strong>, founded September 1, 1772.<\/p>\n

\"SLO<\/p>\n

The California Missions were at first political, a way for Spain to protect its interests in the west as both the Russians and English grew more adventuresome with respect to this area. \u00a0However, as time went on, the Priests became more interested in spreading their religion and saving the locals, so the mission today reflect the lasting intent of those early religious.<\/p>\n

We spent a lot of time venturing into the mission and it museum of early Californian Artifacts. \u00a0Just down the street, we found the Free Library. \"SLO<\/a>\u00a0Not sure why it was called that, but it is beautiful with lots of people coming and going. \u00a0There is also an art gallery across the street that showcased multi media art from school aged kids.<\/p>\n

The Nine Sisters did a very good job leading us to some very wonderful places. \u00a0Twelve miles from Morro Bay and a completely different life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
