Inn at Mendocino - Mendocino, CA

 

Our room on the second floor 

The inn provides a complimentary breakfast in your room.  They deliver it between 8:30 and 9:00.  By 8:31, Deb was at the door, checking to see….  It was delicious when it finally arrived at 8:35!

When we first came to California, 30 years ago, we didn’t realize how cool it was by the ocean.  Today was a relearning experience.  Our first stop was to find something warmer to wear.  However by the time we bought something, it was too hot to wear it, but now we are again California ready (dressing in layers is the California way).


In the morning, we hiked along the ocean.  The trail runs along the cliff face.  The afternoon was more dedicated to self indulgence.  For lunch Deb had a B.L.A.T. (no sandwich is complete without an avocado).  We stopped for a cool drink in the shade because the sun was hot, but shade was cold.  Dinner in an Irish pub that prohibits anyone under 21.  I had no idea that mussels were Irish pub food.

Tomorrow, we will have to face all these problems again, but at least, we will be better prepared! 

This is a huge, 12-15 foot tall plant! Amazing!
