After a leisurely time spent over coffee this morning we headed for the coast to see some of Lou's favorite spots. Bean Hollow Beach was enchanting. We can see why she would spend hours on end here! We got to see harbor seals on the rocks and walk amid amazing...
On our way to today's adventures, we stopped for refreshments at Cameron's British Pub in the community of Half Moon Bay. What a fun place! Collections of everything British everywhere inside and out. It's also the site of our very first geocaching find!
Pulled into Mountain View and parked the rig. Did a little shopping then walked across to Pearl Cafe, a coffee, tea, and Hawaiian BBQ place. We shared a New Mexican Salad and the Kalua Pork with vegetables. Wow! How can you make pork taste this incredible?

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
