Today I finally had the privilege of working a wedding at
Dallidet Adobe & Gardens near downtown
San Luis Obispo. I had seen it on the
Vino Vice work schedule many a time but others always got the job... until today... and it was well worth the wait. Being a history buff and history major I was delighted to be working 5-1/2 hours on such a historic site which I have not even known existed before this year. The history of this site is actually rather fascinating... and unexpected. The staff on-site I worked with today were delightful, both venue and wedding. By the way, be sure to check out my photo of a "
Cthulhu Cactus" I encountered on the grounds here today.

I have been driving within a block of this gate for years and had no idea this place even existed. |
|
I would love to do a history internship here... and someday get married here. |
|
These are actually old mill stones from the 19th Century... or even perhaps the 18th. |
|
That structure is an old train station... but that Ramona is not the one in Southern California. |
|
What a quintessentially California sight: an orange tree, date palm tree, coast redwood, and whatever that thing is to the right whose name I am not drawing a blank. Anywho, only here will one likely see such a mix. |
|
This coast redwood is my favorite type of tree and this individual is about 130 yeas old. |
|
Here is the reason I was here today: a cute and quirky little wedding with plenty of charm.
