Hi there ^^ .. you are a lucky one to have it so close to you .. I hope that you like that beer too and that it is not only one that taste a foreigner which never drank ipa's before ;) .. I got a little strange feeling when I passed through there and experienced some weird stuff, thats true, but I am also lucky that nothing bad happened ^^ .. thank you for stoping by at my post ;)
I am not a big IPA fan. Some is much to hoppy fir me. I prefer a Weihenstephaner Hefe Weiss.
What kinf if strange things happened? Soinds interesting to read about.
It was at the Siesta Motel and the ones close to it that you can see in the picture .. I met someone with only one leg who wanted to sell me some meth, he told me it was shot off by a shotgun in a fight. There were quite a few offers like that from various people in this region. Also the Motels were used in a kind of different way than you would asume. They were for used for "the oldes buisness of humankind" and for people who just needed a place to go on their trips. There were also lots of weird people standing in the corners watching everyone really close and obviously. I also peeked at two guns in total. It kind of felt like in a typical movie there. Also the police stoped by and told me kindly to better not walk around in that area at such a time. The people in the bar also warned me to not walk bavk drunk as I easily will be robbed or might get shot if a try to protest in such a case so they drove me back to my motel after that great night in the bar

We have a city about 30 minutes from my house and you describe it well.
Even in my little town the effects of Meth are evident.
It sounds very fortunate that you were able to keep safe.
If you are ever on the East coast look me up.
Overall was you experiance good despite the strange people?
Ohh yeah .. it was a great experience .. I actually found it quite interesting to see that face of america too .. that kind of completed the overall experience .. in the end I actually stoped in merced to get that typical feeling .. and next to nice dinners, nights in motels and bars this also belongs to it in a way ^^
How long were you on the US? I hope you saw the prettier face of the country as well?
I surely did ;) .. Yosemite was my absolute favorite, but I really liked JPL and all the hiking trails around Los Angeles .. there is soo much beautiful nature all around California ^^ I really would like to go back there once ;)
I would like to see Yosemite someday myself.
