EXPLORING WATSONVILLE







Watsonville, California is a delightful place. Their farmers market features local produce, exotic food, and fantastic Mexican wrestler masks. Walking round you see the magnificent old houses built by those who did

well in the agriculture business years ago. As I mentioned earlier, almost all of our country’s strawberries come from Watsonville.

When I passed by the Veterans Community Building I heard loud, lively, music and a stampede of stamping feet. Making my way upstairs I came upon a room full of young men

and women practicing Mexican Folkloric dancing. It was beautiful thing

to stumble

upon, something you’d never find in a tourist brochure.
