After heading down the road, through Big Sur,
We stayed in Morro Bay on the Back Bay.
We love it there.
We could live there.
We spend time in our favorite haunts
and make new discoveries too
We actually pull over to enjoy the stunning sunset
and roaming zebras and cows near
Hearst Castle, San Simeon, CA.
You can't beat these views!
I could have stood there forever!
At home on the Back Bay, this was a gray trip.
The birds didn't care, so of course, we didn't care either!
We did lots of exploring in the rain!
We stop at our usual stores...
books and music!
I buy "The Stranger in the Woods"...
which I've almost finished already!
That tells you that I am enjoying it quite a bit!
It is a fascinating story and leaves me learning and imagining.
The music store is a kick, the 30 year owner is so nice!
Crusin' around town and the Back Bay,
I imagine a life on the coast...
where the air smells of salt
where the pace is slower
and the folks are friendly
Dreamy
We discover Montana de Oro State Park
and truck across the rocky beach, even though it is raining and cold.
So fun.
Driving through the eucalyptus groves,
I think of all of you who dye with these leaves,
especially Nat!
We agreed that we need to return in the Spring or Summer
when we could hike more.
But, truthfully, I don't even care what the weather is like...
just to be.
Until then, I'll read purchased books from the two bookstores we visited
and I'll hold on to the memories stored in my new Big Sur ring!
May you have adventures that fill your heart
May you explore places dear to you
May you hold memories close
