The weekend was spectacular. Was able to go to Half Moon Bay, a quite pleasant seaside community some 30 miles south of San Francisco. Friday afternoon and all Saturday the weather was clear, cool and delightful. We stayed at a friend's home and just enjoyed the peace, quiet and ocean views. At night the stars were in their galactic glory. Sagittarius being a major highlight of the night sky. We had dinner Friday night at a nice Italian restaurant downtown. We shopped at Safeway for the foods needed for the weekend; yours truly the chef for the weekend. Saturday we walked along the beach and breathed the great cool, salty air. Boy, did the lungs feel good. As I stated, the weather was cool, sweater weather actually. We walked along a path and met the locals and other tourist. I must say the locals are very, very friendly. They say hello, unlike the city where everyone minds their own business. Went to Mass at the local Catholic church, Our Lady of the Pillar. Quiet, no cell phones going off, no kids running up and down the aisles...total bliss.
There is a small shopping center and I must give kudos the to the bookstore located there. One of the small, independent book stores. Friendly and lots of books to choose from.
If ever in this part of NorCal, you must make it a point to spend a day in this hamlet. On Highway 1. Words cannot adequately express nor describe this town- it's a must see place.
