It's Happening In Dover

So I stole that line from a big billboard on Highway 101 through Soledad. Really, there is a huge billboard that says, "It's happening in Soledad." What's happening in Soledad?! Who's even ever heard of Soledad?! I hold that it doesn't even really exist. It's all just a ruse...like death.




Well, Dover, huh. Dover was cute and small, although Katie and I did happen to wander into the "ghetto" of Dover which was actually kind of shady. We walked the entire town (not just the circumference but I am confident that we actually covered every square mile) in about 2 hours. The castle is quite impressive, although we didn't actually make it up there. My advice to you is, if you are planning on stopping over in Dover...don't do it on a Sunday. There is absolutely nothing open. The whole town goes into hibernation and the only thing left open is a karaoke bar just off the main road. As it happens, we went to said bar and promptly left after Katie couldn't get enough booze in me to get on stage. I was, however, tempted to request some George Michael...just because he is that amazing.

The bed and breakfast we stayed in was excellent! Highly recommended. The husband and wife that run the house are really sweet and make a wicked good breakfast. All for a pretty reasonable price and not to far from the hopping downtown district. So, check out the East Lee Guest House. In all honesty, it was sort of nice to spend the night in Dover after our whirlwind tour of London and before our exhausting Paris excursion. It's cute, quaint, and right on the ocean.

And how could I forget! It appears that Shaggy left the Mystery Machine in the Southeastern coast of England. Those silly meddling kids!



Katie the Fearsome, pillaging the village of it's one food source. But what will the kids eat?! She's a monster!! The terror! (she has no soul)



Of course, the White Cliff's of Dover. -->
