San Juan Bautista and the Rib Cookoff




Saturday we took a short drive to the mission town of San Juan Bautista. The mission here (ca. 1770's) is one of the 21 missions established by the Spaniards in California. It's nice, but the real reason we made the trip is the annual SJB Great American Rib Cookoff. (You can only do so much of that historical culture without doing some current-day culture too.) BBQ, beer, and music, with a few sidewalk vendors thrown in for good measure - what a fun thing to do on a weekend.

The trip took us thru the San Benito Wine Trail past five or six wineries. There are vineyards everywhere here. This time we didn't stop, but stay tuned for further developments.
