Angels Camp

The day was wet again. There was a total of .53" of rain yesterday and made for a very dreary day. Josie needed some hair stuff so we went into town and stopped at Walmart and we decided to take a trip to Angels Camp, which is a nice town we went through on the way to the Sutter Gold Mine a week or so ago. This is one of the typical California Gold Rush towns that are scattered throughout this area and is another great place to visit. We stopped back at the fifth wheel to pick up the camera, just in case. We couldn't find Josie's small camera after looking everywhere in the fifth wheel, so we concluded that it still must be somewhere in the Jeep. It turns out that it was in the pocket of a jacket she left in the car and it was there the whole time we were at the bottom of the hill yesterday at Italian Bar, when we thought we didn't have one. Sheesh!

We arrived at Angels Camp at about 1 PM and walked around the whole downtown. There are several nice antique stores, restaurants and specialty shops. We stopped at a small cafe, Angels Cafe, and had some lunch - French Dip sandwiches - that was excellent and fairly cheap ($20 total). Of course, it was raining the whole time as you can see from this shot:

There was a movie theater in town (below) and it was showing Avatar, which is a movie we were wanting to see, so what better time than a rainy afternoon to go to a movie.

It was one of the very few theaters near us that was showing this film in its 3D format, so we went. What a great film. Even though it was almost 3 hours long, it didn't seem like it.

All in all, it was a fun day, even with the rain. The clouds are still here this morning, so we aren't sure what plans to make for today. Whatever we do, it will be more fun than going to work...
