We went to Bakersfield to see a cousin of F's, Marti Barker. She is the sister of Fred's cousin, Clint. We had dinner with Marti, her husband, her two daughters and their families. It was great to see and meet them. Marti has two grandsons, each 6 years. The next night one of the daughters fixed us tortilla soup that was great and we spent time in their hot tub.Marti and Bridget, her daughter, took us white rafting on the Kern River. What fun! The
river is very high due to snow melt so the trip was fast with much white water. We had a great guide and loved the trip. I asked how old the oldest person to raft the Kern was and they said 86 so that gives me 20 more years!!! The last night in Bakersville we went to Noriega's Resturant. It is very famous in Bakersfield. You sit at long tables and for two hours they bring out food and wine, much more than you can possibly eat. Salad, green beans, tongue, lamb, cottage cheese, tomatoes and onions, sorbet. It was a great way to close out our enjoyable visit with them.
