This is very specific addition to my 'Consumer and Retail History' album. California is huge consumer of water and has been considered to be in a state of drought at various times since 2014 although the shortage is not always visible in everyday life. This notice, issued by the City of Millbrae, was on the table in Round Table Pizza, Millbrae and is of interest for conveying its message in Chinese as well as English in recognition of the ethnicity of a large part of the population of the area. 200_2_P1100397C

To stay near a city but not in it is potentially to avoid unnecessary expense and hassle. My interests go sufficiently beyond the purely touristy to make it more than worthwhile to stay in Burlingame, south of San Francisco. Although the background of this photograph is unprepossessing, the Bayfront area has many attractions including the Ice Plant (previously featured), shore birds and this pedestrian bridge. 200_2_P1090731

El Camino Real (Spanish for The Royal Road, also known as The King's Highway) and sometimes associated with Calle Real usually refers to the historic 600-mile (966-kilometer) California Mission Trail, connecting the former Alta California's 21 missions (along with a number of support sites), 4 presidios, and several pueblos, stretching from Mission San Diego de Alcalá in San Diego in the south to Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma in the north (Wikipedia). The markers such as this one shown here at Gaviota Pass rest area, are sited at regular intervals along today's Route 101. Many have the brown sign and some do not. TZ30_P1010399
