Last night after dinner (clams!!) we went for a walk down on the beach. It's not a very long beach when the tide is high, so last night's walk was a little short. When we came back to the Airstream it had gotten dark enough for all the solar lights…

This morning we headed south a little bit to get to the trailhead for Shi Shi Beach. Here's a payoff picture so you can see where we ended up: Those twisty rock formations are huge, and it took quite a bit of rock scaling to get out there and get…

After dinner last night (duck confit, roasted tomato and garlic soup, and a kale salad, yum!) we noticed the rain letting up and the sun coming through the clouds so we headed out to the beach to take it all in. I think this makes up for all the rain.
