I grew up in SLO, but it's amazing how fast the little details slip your mind. So when I was there last, I took some pictures to keep me honest. They were mostly not helpful, since it was raining all day (which it does only once in a blue moon). But my friend Heather Kelley is a wonderful photographer, and she came to my rescue with dozens of amazing photos of our hometown! So here are a few of my favourites. Please enjoy. My book is a YA novel with a time-travel twist, but it is also a love letter to this jewel of the Central Coast.
