Holy crap, a city in which I've recently eaten!

We ate at a small Mexican joint - can't remember the name, but had a decent posole. I can get the name if you like. We also ate at the Mexican place next door to the La Quinta - mediocre/overpriced.

We drove to Fresno from L.A. and back. I hope that was a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Good grief, Darcie. Did you go though Bakersfield? I could have directed you to outstanding Mexican and Basque food.
Fresno. Haven't been there in many years, but one caveat: there is a lot of gang activity. Be careful.

KSS - yep, drove through Bakersfield. Would have loved good restaurant recs but we were on a tight schedule (DH's work trip - I was just along for the ride although somehow I ended up doing all the driving...)

Didn't notice any gang activity, thank goodness.

Hop in a car, drive 3 hours, and dine at my place?

As tempting as that is I fear that regrets are in order, there will be the opportunity in the future and I will take you up on it, I'll be in Fresno Monday, then the next week it's a Darcie reunion!! Whoo Hoo! :)
