Day 14 and a big thank you to Corona

My first day of shopping........ Yah

Actually we started off with a great presentation and meeting with Corona and Norco Clubs. There was about 40 people there and it was lots of fun.

Following the meeting Jeffrey and Suzanne went and saw Kaiser Hospital and I went to the Corona Library as previously reported by Jill who also spent time there. It was great to share ideas with another Library system and how they do things.

From there we had lunch at Panera Bread with great soup and sandwiches. Cindy and Jay Murphy and Joy Dunn joined us for lunch.

The shopping was fun in the afternoon as we got designer clothes at great prices and also shoes (just ask Jill how many pairs she bought!)

We also got to speaker to the designer and visionary behind the Dos Lagos Community concept. Ali Sahabi showed us how he took an abandoned silica mine and has turned it into an upmarket shopping centre and also community. It is centered around a lake shaped like a butterfly with an amazing waterfall and architectural bridge.
The Mayor also provided us with a beautiful proclamation to make us honorary citizens of Corona.

Dinner was at Ra Sushi and was awesome. It was fantastic to have host families and rotarians there as well and the photo shows how much fun we had.

Tomorrow we are off to San Bernadino. So thanks Corona for showing us a great time and we hope to see you all down under soon.
