Day 38 Saturday March 25

Today is the "Ramona" Play  It’s at the Ramona Bowl outdoor amphitheater on a hillside just southeast of town.  It is California’s official outdoor play and the longest running – since 1923.  It takes place just as the Americans won the Mexican war against Santa Anna, (remember the Alamo). It gave all of California to the US and meant changes for the Spaniards, (Mexicans), and the Indians living there.  The play is based on a book about that era.  It is a long play, running about 3 hours including a half hour intermission.  The actors are all volunteers from the Hemet area and there are about 500 to 700 of them.  We all enjoyed it very much.  After the play we came home to the RV to rest up for a couple of hours.  Sheila has a worsening cold/sinus thing going that she is persevering through to join in the activities. For the evening we went to La Fogata for their 30^th anniversary special dinner – a Mariachi band and 30 % off the bill including drinks. All very enjoyable. After dinner Judy was very tired so we delivered her to her Motel then we came back to RV where Sheila lay down for a nap.  I did my journal, watched the news on TV for the weather and turned in around 11:30.  Sheila was still in bed asleep, she still has her cold/sinus/whatever thing slowing her up.
