Staying one more day in the Eureka area gave us a chance to discover another of the incredible beaches near Trinidad, California. This one had a quite steep trail with some steps and a log ladder at the bottom. We came equipped with a beach blanket allowing us to plop down, relax, and watch the waves as the tide and the fog rolled in. We got no deeper in the water than our ankles though. It’s way too cold for swimming but gloriously beautiful. We tried to go to a seafood restaurant but it was quite busy so instead we got some baked goodies to go at Beachcomber Cafe. Finally there’s nothing quite like Cafe Mokka in Arcata to cap off a fine summer day. An Iced Decaf, a soak in one of their Finnish Hot Tubs, and the opportunity to linger in the cool evening air in the gardens. What more could we want?
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
