road trip

There are other things in Point Reyes Station besides legendary cheese.

There is this sign, for one. Painted on the side of a brick building with boarded-up windows on which someone collaged the word "HOPE" with blue paper. Nearby, a taco truck-looking mobile called the Chinese Chuckwagon is parked.

But we weren't in the mood for eggrolls. Instead, we crossed the street and went indoors. We shared warm things -- pulled pork sliders, turkey chili, mac and cheese. And when we were done, there were books, a telephone wire wearing at least six pairs of shoes and a toy store displaying the Nunchuck -- a plastic gun that shoots miniature nuns instead of bullets.
