Jamie Visits LA-Yosemite Park 032 -

Talking of theme parties, I’m also partial to hobbled together theme restaurants and cafes. You know, not like Pizza Hut that’s organised round the theme of being… well, a hut that sells pizza; but rather like this diner en route to Yosemite National Park that was stuffed full of Western movie memorabilia and served a decent sandwich. I’d half a mind to order some cherry pie (the environment felt very Twin Peaksy) but in the end I didn’t. I’m sure like any kitsch idea that seems good in passing, my longing to stay the night in the small hamlet in the middle of no where that nonetheless had a fully stocked bar with bizarrely titled cocktails would probably not have been the best adventure – and Yosemite park by contrast, certainly was. But I would love a road trip that was purely silly at some point. To that end, Kerry bought me ‘Weird California’ before I left. I’ve seen a few of the places inside it, but I think a short holiday needs structuring around it instead. Prime sightseeing it might not be. But who doesn’t want to see a house that never stopped being built for an entire lifetime or giant dinosaur sculptures?
