Fremont and Dublin: California

 Friday, November 28, 2014
We drove to Fremont, an hour drive from Pescadero.


Several blocks before the business section of Fremont, there were many signs indicating parking was only available during certain hours.  We soon discovered the reason. Fremont was waiting for the Niles Festival of Lights parade.  Our photos show the front row seats that parade watchers secured  before the start of the parade.

Then we drove to Dublin to visit with the Gates family. The Gates were our neighbours at our KOA Costanoa. They invited us to join their campfire and their Thanksgiving feast. It was wonderful to get to know them and to be invited to their home.

Ellie told us to bring Tupperware. My few containers were not enough to transport the amount of leftovers Ellie sent us home with. So Ellie sent us home with some of hers. Since Friday, we have enjoyed four delicious meals from the Gates' Thanksgiving feast!

    2. ;-D It was such a treat to be invited out for a home-cooked meal (and then have meals for the week). I thought of the "Thanksgiving meal" you prepared for us in Ottawa ;-D
