El Centro is a town that we went through briefly on a trip to San Felipe, Mexico, several years ago. This time, we drove around the whole town and found out where the important stuff is: Costco, Bank, larger stores, etc. We first stopped at a Skecher's store that was having a huge sale and, of course, Josie bought a couple pairs of shoes. We then located the Bank of America in town where we will do our banking while here and then went to Costco. The major discovery while stopping at these places is that the town is probably 90% Mexican. It is a clean town, but almost everybody was speaking Spanish to each other. They all spoke good English, too, so it wasn't so bad.
We got home at about 4 PM and spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching some TV. We really wanted to get out to visit another town today but since we have the guests coming to dinner tonight, we'll have to stay pretty close to home. We may just go to Julian which is only 30 minutes from here. That is a favorite of most people in this area. The weather is a lot different there though (cooler) as it is located at a much higher elevation than here. If I haven't mentioned it before, the elevation here is 23 feet below sea level. That's why the winters are very dry and mild here. So far the evening temperatures have been between 55-60 and the daily highs around 85-87.
More tomorrow...
