Williams, CA

Spent the night here in a motel with the smallest kidney-shaped swimming pool you ever saw. Another swimmer turned out to be a man from Sweden who just bought a hot rod nearby and was driving it to Oakland to be shipped home. He and my husband with his own share of Swedish blood, love of Swedish cars, and plenty of other old cars had a lot to talk about. We walked around town after dark and watched a man driving a Toyota pickup lose his tire when he turned a corner. Bizarre. And of course, the most happening spot in town is Granella's who have the market share of everything in that town: restaurant, bar, motel, bakery, market . . ..
