Diane moved the motorhome to a 50AMP electric site while Bill was at the Council meetings but we did not get any photos.
Twice we went to Strings in Manteca and both times it was excellent. We met up with friend Gypsy John multiple times at the Escapade, including dinner one day (Strings). We also had Italian dinner out with Judy and Luke one night, Dianne and Frank another (added Garabaldi's Mexican to our Restaurants list), Sheila and Glenn another (Strings), and Jan and Ken another, who introduced us to the Texas Roadhouse chain.
