We had wonderful conversations and great food, and then we headed out to Route 99. Stopped for gas in Manteca (or was it Madera), and then (around 2:45 <font size=\"-2\">PM<\/font>) hit the outlet malls in Tulare. Shopped for about an hour, and then headed off to Bakersfield and Basque food (see above).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, this was a great trip, allowing us to meet a bunch of great people.
