We drove the coastal highway from Morro Bay to Monterey. The marine layer had receded quite a bit. (Marine Layer is just a California fancy way of saying fog). North of Morro Bay, the elephant seals have taken over all of the sandy beaches. This is our third trip on the coastal highway, our second in the RV. The first RV trip was southbound in 2014, where Deb, as the passenger, hung precariously over the edge of 100 foot drops. This time, northbound, she was precariously riding under potential debris flows. (Another California fancy word for mud slides).
Of course, there was very little traffic, the views were stunning, and the weather was lovely. We arrived in Marina, the home of son one, with sufficient time to do two weeks of laundry. The washers and dryers are all controlled by an app on your phone. Of course they are! We tried not to appear old and out of touch.
Son one came over for dinner, our first guest since before COVID. It’s really starting to feel like the beginning of the end!
On Saturday, we went wine tasting at Odonata Winery (outside, of course). Sunday, a walk on the beach in Marina. With the temperature in the 50’s, it was a brisk, enthusiastic walk. After lunch, we strolled the historic section of Monterey. Then came thought...should we? ...would it it be right, so soon?
Yes...just do it...and we did! We ate dinner at a restaurant! (Of, course it was outside)
