August 11, 2017 – Good bye, Woodland

We left our home in Woodland, CA, USA, with our new 2017 Toyota Camry packed to the gills. We headed south to Camarillo, CA to visit friends and family before our first rental. One of our stops was at Gardens of the World, in Thousand Oaks, CA. Pictured here are images from the Japan, Mission, and Italy areas.

 

Stopped at this Basque restaurant in Bakersfield.
