After a nice little run at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newtimes-slo.com\/avila\/\">Avila Beach<\/a>, we headed south, an area rather unfamiliar to us. We went to the little town of Guadalupe. It has a predominantly Hispanic population now, but the buildings are quite old, and I believe parts of it ended up in the film Seabiscuit.

Unfortunately, the mole sauce was not to our liking, but that didn&#8217;t stop us from scarfing it down. The beans were outstanding!<br \/>\nAfter lunch we headed to Santa Maria, a nasty and sprawling town (I believe <a href=\"http:\/\/myglasshouse.typepad.com\">Rachael<\/a> can confirm this). We planned to hit Betty&#8217;s Fabrics for their 20 percent off everything sale. Little did we know that there is a Betty&#8217;s Yarns sharing the same space! And yes, it was 20 percent off everything in there, too.
