Old eggs.

May 7, Monterey.

The eggs came by this morning, and returned to see the early show with some friends.
Pat and Bill Eggleston, or Mr. and Mrs. Egg," as Pat likes to joke, are old friends of my parents who live in Carmel-by-the-sea. They call me their French daughter; I hadn't seen them in a long time. We went to the Little Swiss Cafe in Carmel for breakfast, where there is an interesting multi-panel mural in the main room with among other scenes a painting of the owner smoking marijuana in a field and a sign with a smiley face and I Hate You written on it. The mural is by André Balyon and is called "Dutch Treat."
The Egglestons saw the early show, the first time they'd been to the circus in forty-some years. They went to see the Barnum Brothers Circus in New York City when their kids were small. David is now 47 and Nancy 45.
