We arrived in Los Angeles on Friday January 5, and on Sunday, January 7 we left L.A. and headed south, ...to the town of Fallbrook, located in the dry, mountainous region 50 miles north of San Diego. We were visiting my sister, Romaine, who now lives in Fallbrook, ...in a bright, airy house, The guest room ...with a lovely backyard. Romaine lives is a small, quiet community surrounded by breath-taking vistas, such as these views from her front patio: Soon after we arrived Romaine took us for a stroll around her scenic, hilly neighborhood. We walked down to the community club house, which looked like an old Spanish mission, ...and past a little church. We concluded that one could definitely keep in shape just walking around the block every day a time or two. When dinnertime rolled around Romaine took us to the nearby town of Bonsall to a delightful spot called Z Cafe, ...where the ambiance was cozy, ...the service friendly and fast, and the food great. We started with an appetizer of roasted balsamic brussels sprouts, which were delicious (and which I now have a hankering to try and replicate at home). Romaine and I had the veggie sandwich with crispy, tasty fries, ...and Tom had the Hawaiian Salmon Bowl, which he proclaimed delicious. For dessert Tom had a yummy chocolate concoction called a Mud Pie, while I had this heavenly slice of carrot cake with ice cream. After dinner we returned to Fallbrook and took another brief walk. And as we strode the rugged terrain, taking in the sight of mountains and palm trees, I compared this to the landscape of the Midwest where I live and pondered the wonderful geographic - as well as human - diversity of this country.
