While we had fun in Baja, the bumpy dirt roads to the beach weren't to kind to our wheelchair lift. Not long after we returned home, it began to make all sorts of awful noises before quitting altogether. The local mobility dealer said they could fix it but they had to order parts and we had to wait (it would eventually take over 3 weeks).
Being stuck in the house is no adventure, even for a homebody like Tim. The only decent restaurant within walking distance to our house is a pizza parlor (which we walked to the first week) but after 2 weeks, with cabin fever setting in and our anniversary date arriving, we had to do something.
Consulting our local bus company's web page, we found that the line by our house would easily take us to Pasadena or Claremont, both fun places to kill time. We chose Claremont and walked to the bus stop.
It's about an hour ride to the Metrolink Train Depot in Claremont, where the bus drops us off.
It's a very pretty college town. If you saw our earlier report on Claremont or it's doppleganger...Davis, in northern California...you can get a glimpse of what we're in store for.
Browsing the shops, Letty gets some custom made lotion at one of the shops and I get this mini Hohner harmonica at one of the world's best music stores, the Claremont Folk Music Center.
Hungry for dinner, we end up at the Press for some vegetarian lasagna and drinks. It's OK, but Letty is not happy with the lazy service or the bread that comes out with the hardness of a hockey puck.
She declares we will not be darkening the door of this establishment again. No worries, we've still got Eureka!, Union on Yale, Aruffo's, and many more restaurants we've still yet to try here.
After dinner, we go with something much more reliable, dessert at Bert and Rocky's ice cream parlor.
Grabbing some candy to go, we head over to the nearby bus stop to catch our ride home.
