Historical downtown SLO...



Driving back from the outskirts of down we saw the first of several restaurants recommended to us as dog-friendly, Splash Cafe, and stopped for a bite of lunch. (We photographed each of these places, a pictorial reminder for future visits!) Again, with the help of our guidebook, we found the Ramona Depot and Dallidate Adobe behind locked gates, sadly seen only by appointment this time of year. We stopped at a small, corner Japanese park with a pagoda in the center. Then it was time to explore Mission Plaza, a place where the community gathers for many events during the year, complete with a small amphitheatre and a footbridge over San Luis Creek that connects the plaza with the shopping district. We found downtown to be beautiful and easy to navigate.
