There's More to Julian than Apple Pie

Julian is a great getaway for the day, or overnight. You really feel like you've gone somewhere. It's small, rural and so different than San Diego, just an hour away. The apple pie is not to be missed, and in the fall the apple cider makes you feel like you're back East. But don't forget summertime in Julian.

This summer, from August 20-23 is the Julian Starfest. It is a gathering of amateur astronomers for a weekend of lectures by guest speakers, exhibits by telescope manufactureres and night sky viewing. At an elevation of 4226 feet with clear, dark skies, the mountain resort town offers prime conditions for stargazing. To find out more about this event call 760-765 1083 or go to julainstarfest.com. This could be a fun little summer getaway, with an overnight at one of the many B and B's in the area. I will not be there, as I will be in Colorado at that time, but I thought there might be some of you out there that might be interested. Let me know if you go.
