Day 10: Santa Maria layover: 4th of July!

On this day, we did not ride any transit at all. On the 4th of July, there is no bus service, so we just relaxed in Santa Maria. Since we needed to do the laundry, we walked through the park and to the laundromat.
Here are some pictures of the park:


It was very hot and we had to walk a long way, so we dropped our stuff off at the laundromat and had some ice cream at the Paleteria Linda Michoacana. It served Mexican ice cream, so the chocolate was not very good. However, the pistachio was apparently spectacular.

We had lunch at the Taco Bell nearby, then walked back to the laundromat, park, and hotel. Santa Maria turned out to be a nice little town to spend the 4th of July in, mostly thanks to it's great park right next to our hotel. We had dinner at Round Table pizza, because Marco Polo was closed.
