"Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway ~~ We're the best of friends ~~ Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way…" Willie Nelson – Johnny Cash
Our journey west ended in Paso Robles, CA, where we joined long-time friends for a few days. We started our visit with a lovely dinner followed by a tour of the Derby Winery the next day. Carrie was happy that the party included two friendly cats, Buff and Bama, who came to Paso Robles with their mama because Ojai, CA was evacuated due to the massive Thomas Fire.
