Central Valley Outings

I had the idea that Porterville, CA would be more charming than Hanford, CA. The reverse seems to be true. I stopped in Hanford in search of a Home Depot and stumbled upon this fabulous courthouse square with lovingly restored architecture... I tried to photograph the courthouse but the batteries in my camera died. Later, when Porterville failed to enchant me but nevertheless had a decent Thai restaurant, I drove up to Lake Success and chomped on Pad Thai in the setting sun.
