Glorious isolation on the northern coast of California...today on The World on Wheels, come along as we visit the tiny town of Elk, clinging fast to the cliffs overlooking the Pacific south of Mendocino: http://tinyurl.com/ycjmfdp

It really is, and great food. It seems like what a read village should be like.

San Pedro's a nice little hidden gem. We'll go there from time to time and hang out. There's a very nice military museum on top of the hill where batteries used to guard against attack. Great beaches on the north side of town too, towards Palos Verdes.  Glad you had a good time.

 Hi, this is Cara Bertoia, a few weeks ago my husband and I were visiting downtown San Pedro, which has a really neat collection of shops, antique stores and local restaurants. We made our trip on a Friday morning when there was a Farmer’s Market on Sixth Street selling fresh produce. We strolled around the truly unique shops, until we were famished and then we had some great fried chicken and catfish at Porky’s BBQ, which I hear also serves great ribs, for next time.

We were on our way to the Whale and Ale Pub, a favorite of ours, from our cruise ship days. San Pedro was the port where our ship docked, whenever it stopped in Los Angeles and Long Beach is just a few miles down the road.  

Well the Pub is only a block from Sixth Street, and on the way we passed a store with the sign ‘Maritime Research Center’. Well since we both love to sail we decided to check it out. Well imagine our surprise when we found a store filled with cruise ship memorabilia. It truly is like walking in a cruse ship museum. I know all cruising fans would love this shop. There is a menu from the Queen Mary on the night Charles and Di married, and a newspaper from the day the Lusitania sank. They have over a 1,000 pieces on display including art and ship models.

They also have nautical books, Scott F. Gray the owner has written books on the Queen Mary and the QEII. And since it was such a good fit they are now selling copies of my novel Cruise Quarters – A Novel About Casinos And Cruise Ships. What better place to sell a novel about working on cruise ships?

Katherine and Scott are also very friendly and love to chat with their customers.

The address of the shop is: 301 West Seventh Street and the phone number is: 310-521-0175.

It's nice to see when a baseball team actually lowers their prices. Today on the Fields of Dreams report at The World on Wheels, our update focuses on a team that did just that, the Fresno Grizzlie (AAA affilliate of the Giants) who play at Chukshansi Park: http://tinyurl.com/242hrke
