Palying tourist in Half Moon Bay
Jeff & I took the day off last Friday for Veteran's Day. I would like to thank the veterans for making our country free!!
We drove down the coast to Ano Nuevo State park. This is the site where a lot of elephant seals come to have their babies during the winter months. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=22264
It is quite a hike to the beach from the parking lot but it was worth it. The California Sea Lions were in the ocean as well. We saw about 5 elephant seals soaking up the sun on the beach. We were not allowed to get too close. Those elephant seals get real territorial and will charge if disturbed!!
Then we had lunch as Gazos Grill http://www.gazosgrill.com/ . I had the pastramie & swiss on rye (yummy) and Jeffrey had a BLTA (Bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado). The view from the restaurant was very nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We plan on returning.
Up the street from Gazos Grill is Pigeon Point LIghthouse. http://www.rudyalicelighthouse.net/CalLts/PigeonPt/PigeonPt.htm
I remember being able to go inside the lighthouse and walk up the stairs. It is now is such disrepair, they have closed it to the public. We walked around the grounds and watched a viedo on how the lighthouse was developed.
Then we went home and took a two hour nap!! A very restful day. We needed it.
