We are ready to roll, literally. Trailer day was an all day, four person extravaganza. It began Saturday morning. First we fueled ourselves with Arizmendi Emeryville's caramel latte, pastries and savory yums. After we spent some time admiring some of our new wares, we got to work. Matt and Eddy set to installing the hitch on the car while we tackled assembly of the griddle. A few hours and greasy shirts later everything was installed.
We looked over Jenya's business card designs ( I highly recommend getting yourself a business partner with design skillz), and then hit the road to Gilroy and the offices of Trailer's Plus. There she was, the last on the lot... a pristine white trailer name Bessie, waiting for a good home. One mark on the company credit card and a few signatures later, she was all ours. We drove her proudly in the slow lane til nightfall hit near San Jose.
In San Jose we pulled off the road to install the trailer lights, and just so happened to park near La Chalateca 100% Guanaco, a Pupuseria. The restaurant is run by a rock star Salvedorean family, all with multiple unique face piercings. And they bring each table a huge vat of Savladorian slaw. Awesomeness. I looked up the word Guanaco later, and the dictionary definition is: a wooly, reddish-brown, wild Andean llama. My housemate David, who lived in El Salvador, says it just means 100% Salvadorean.
Another hour or two later, belly's full, and lights installed (Thanks Matt and Eddy, you guys are the best!), we pointed ourselves and Bessie towards Oaktown where she now resides, eagerly awaiting word from some farmer's markets.
