So we spent almost a week in Bakersfield (I know, it seemed like a year, ha ha). The weather was great and we had a great time with Fran’s cousins. On the last night, while Fran was visiting with them, Fran figured it out, they are like the TV show Brothers and Sisters. You can get exhausted with the flow and pace of a conversation, I know I did!
I kid, because they were a blast to be around and it was fun catching up as we had not seen each other in 20 years.
As for local culture, Fran was treated, by her cousins, to an evening at the Crystal Palace. It is a local entertainment venue started by Buck Owens, who is a big thing here in Bakersfield. Fran had fun and, to my amazement, did not drink any shots. I, on the other hand, stayed back and watched the NCAA tournament.
In addition we gave our bikes a workout taking them two days to the Kern River bike trail. We rode for an hour each day and paid the price!
