Merced, continued

As previously promised, here are more pictures from Merced, in central California. The pictures include the painting on the wall of the California visitor's center. Also, the famous old theater tower with the word "Merced" on it.







Nearby in Atwater, California, I toured the Castle Air Museum with a collection of mainly wartime airplanes to commemorate what used to be an Air Force Base (now a federal prison).



Lastly, on my drive back to Los Angeles, I stopped in Fredriksburg, California - a total Swedish town. They host a Swedish festival in the summer. All year round the Swedish flag flies from the light posts on the street, people sip coffees in the Swedish cafe, and these Swedish dalarna horses stand as a life-size reminder that Swedes rule.
