I am not ready to leave the coast tomorrow. I am just beginning to relax, and the east bay is having a heatwave all this week.
After my morning walk, I met up with an old childhood friend who now lives on the coast. We hung out in Downtown Half Moon Bay where her daughter scoops gelato all day for tourists. Christine and I strolled up and down main street window shopping, shopping-shopping, and eating a late lunch. Today I was trying to avoid afternoon sun since I walked around all day yesterday and it wiped me out. Indoor air-conditioned shops were just what I needed.
For dinner I was going to head over to a nearby restaurant, but the parking lot was packed with tourists, and it was all a bit overwhelming, so I headed north to the next town over- Moss Beach, to try the very popular “Moss Beach Distillery“. I knew it would be busy as well, but not as crazy. Also, there was a geocache hidden there (that I did not find). But look at the view from their outdoor patio:
Granted, I was sitting at the bar because all the tables were taken, but I snapped this pic on my way to the bathroom.
These little beach towns are so relaxing. I wish I could have a “second home” here.
