Today there is a street fair in Rolando St which is only a couple of minutes from the Best Western Hotel in El Cajon Blvd.
We head down the road at about 10am and not all the stall holders have set up as yet. After strolling down through the rides and stalls we go up the road to Ralph’s to get something to have for lunch later in the day.
We want to do some work and are hoping our room is cleaned by the time we get back. Unfortunately it isn’t. We are finding that housekeeepking comes around really early when we are getting ready to go for breakfast and if you aren’t ready they don’t come back until late in the afternoon. This works fine for the week days but on Sunday when we want to work this isn’t convenient as it breaks into our work time. We wait around for housekeeping to knock as they are just next door, but they move up to the other end of the units.
So in the end we go out to the street fair again, to give housekeeping more time to clean the room, and this time there are lots more people enjoying the beautiful day and taking part in the activities.
Almost everyone seems to have brought their dog with them for a day out and there are plenty of stalls with dog related clothing and toys.
There are also a variety of food and drink stalls, a music stage, and activities for the kids such as face painting and rides.
The police have a recruitment drive on and they are all very smartly dressed with their shiny badges. The officers mingle with the crowd and they are very approachable and friendly.
When we arrive back the room still hasn’t been cleaned so rather than keep waiting we settle in to work and will make do with the room not being serviced.

It amazes me every time I read your blog entries. You both really know how to have a holiday and get the best out of the time you have. The visit to Alcatraz must have been a real eye opener for you both, knowing the history.
