here is why this area is so cool: we have an honest to goodness one room schoolhouse only 60 miles away from slo. (only 30 minutes from paso, where i'm currently teaching.)

yes, parkfield elementary only has 17 students from grades k-6. I think it is the teacher's first year there. in some ways, i wish i had her job.

parkfield is famous for having lots of earthquakes.
they also have a restaurant and an inn. wow!
oh yes, and wild boars.
