Mariposa Meandering

After careful deliberation, I’ve decided that Mariposa deserves its own post. Of all the charming little towns I’ve been through, this one has been my favorite so far. The drive up was lovely and sunny, but fairly uneventful. I’m still surprised that I haven’t felt the need to listen to music or podcasts on this trip. I suppose my brain also needed a vacation from being constantly filled with distraction.

The abundance of rest stops with interesting informational plaques along the American roadways may be one of our greatest achievements as a nation
EVERY hotel should have windows you can perch in like this, safety be dammed!

Once I’d settled into my room, it was time to stroll through town. Had some killer ramen (wasn’t expecting to find that!), before stumbling upon a little hidden away outdoor bar / venue / recording studio. The band was just setting up, so I stuck around and left with a shirt and a CD. The band, Little Tiger, had just finished recording their latest album right there at the venue, and this was their release party. I guess if I’m not listening to music in the car, I have to find it out in the world!

Little Tiger, big sound!
Drinks, music, and an amazing view of the sunset, no wonder she liked this town

And that’s all for now folks! Stay tuned for the reason I was in Mariposa to begin with! A quick look at the map should give you a hint.
