Yesterday was the best day! Mike drove us from Eureka to Mendocino (about a two-three hour drive - he drove so I could enjoy the scenery). We drove on Highway 1, which is coastal and winding and crazy and AWESOME! There was a direct view of the ocean for very much of the ride.
We sold over $900 in glass just today! We had a lovely dinner at Cap'n Flint's - fresh seafood at the harbor (south of Ft. Bragg, north of Mendocino). The weather was PERFECT.
We made $99 reservations (mid-week special, naturally) at The Beachcomber, which was this fantastic motel right on the coast in Ft. Bragg, with our room's private balcony facing the ocean. We went to a reggae show at the Caspar Inn (in Caspar, between Ft. Bragg and Mendocino) - Sister Carol. The whole day was just wonderful. And Mike and I were both so happy to be together and on the road together, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Of course, we took plenty of pictures which I hope to post soon.
11:41AM
We're like big kids. This morning we went down to the lobby and got coffee and danishes (mine was cheese!) and then ate our breakfast with the patio door open and the ocean view and music. Then we ran around at the beach and looked at tide pools and climbed all over mollusk covered rocks for an hour. After we got back to our room we ate milk and cookies, for a mid-morning snack of course.
(I took picturs of the sea anenomes and the starfish and the mollusks and other fun things, of course!)
1:35PM
We ate breakfast/lunch/brunch at Cafe 1 in Fort Bragg on Hwy 1/Main Street. All organic food. Delicious!* I had "heuvos diversaderos (rancheros)" which consisted of two scrambled eggs (but you can substitute tofu if you want), vegetarian beans, cheddar and jack cheeses, fresh avacado, two salsas, sour cream, served over corn tortillas, potatoes on the side. Mike had "hungry person" which included eggs, bacon and the best pancakes I've ever tasted in my life. Blueberry pancakes, I don't know if it was nutmeg but something made them so yummy. We also split an organic housemade bagel with butter and housemade jam. And plate-swapped. We love to share our food. It's just so ridiculously sappy, I know. But, whatever. We are happy, so leave us alone.
Now we are on the road again.
5:10PM
From Mendocino County to Lake County. Hot today. Mid to upper 80's. Sweaty hot. Beautiful and sunny. The lakes in Lake County with the sun reflecting off their still surfaces are sparkling/shimmering/gleaming. People are full of summer moods. Smiles from strangers. Windows wide open. Wonderful (wonderful adj. causing wonder, awe-inspiring, miraculous...).
8:40PM
We walked over by a lake and there were fish heads. It was gross. The lake was much prettier from afar. We stopped and ate Chinese fast food in our last little town before heading for home. It was neither the best nor the worst food I've had. Much better than McDonald's. No MSG, they advertised. And cook in olive oil for our health. The name of the town was Clear Lake. The name of the restaurant was something like Panda Bear or Big Panda. There was a huge TV on the wall playing a Shania Twain in Chicago live concert. I found that strange.
*delicious adj. delectable, palatable, savory, tasty, luscious, mouth-watering, appetizing; pleasant, pleasurable, delightful, joyful, charming

At first I thought this said "the lake was much prettier by far" and I thought you meant prettier than the fish heads, haha. I was like, "I should hope so!"
