Carolina’s Notes
I got up and took a shower right away. The sun was shining and there was no time to waste indoors. When we checked in yesterday the attendant informed us that there was a trail to the beach. I wanted to explore this trail before we ventured anywhere. Tony was more than willing to accompany me. We had a blast! The trail went out to beach as well around the coastline terrain. There is a golf coarse right there where the two coexisted in harmony. I was elated. Seriously, this was a great way to start my day. We didn’t tote the camera but Tony clicked pictures with his camera phone.
After our hike, we got back to Harry to water up, hit the restroom, and basically freshen up. Then we wanted to investigate downtown Half Moon Bay to prep for the pumpkin festival on Saturday and Sunday. We ate brunch at Half Moon Bay Grill and it was enjoyable. Then we walked the quaint downtown area; we visited art galleries and coffee shops. We were hunting for free Internet Access and kept coming up short. We got into the car to head back by the highway and Tony was able to find out that the local library offers such services. I mentioned that local libraries offer free services to Tony at the beginning of the journey but he was very skeptical of this fact. It is nice to know that this town does offer such services. Anyway, the sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky and Tony & I are enjoying it all. I even found a Hallmark store to buy postcards, a couple of Halloween cards, and a Get-Well Gift for our one granddaughter. I am so very pleased that things seemed to be going smoothly.
We got back to Harry to walk the beach during low-tide. It was great! Then it was time to get to Harry to have supper. On my way up the stairs, I was grabbing the rail and a bee stung me in my right hand. OUCH!! I was stung once before in the butt at the age of 18 years but I don’t remember it hurting as much as today’s event. We attended to my bee sting then decided to stay at home so I asked Tony to fix me a drink; my pal Jack and Coke. I plan on watching baseball and relaxing. I’m going to try not whine so Tony doesn’t get annoyed with me.
Tony’s Notes
We had a very nice cardio walk along the trail. It went through the golf coarse and also went through a resort area. Everything was landscaped and immaculate. Off to our right were multi-million dollar homes, and the left was a beautiful coastline view. We met other folks out walking, and one gentleman taught a little about the timing for high and low tides. He had said that there were two high tides and two low tides per day. He also said low tide would be about 3:30pm. Carolina and I decided to take another walk down by the beach later today to have a chance to walk further out during low tide.
Downtown HMB (Half Moon Bay, but the locals seemed to use the acronym often) was very charming. There were many very nice shops and art galleries. The Main Street Grill was OK, but I could tell that my $10 omelet had been made with thawed frozen spinach and old caramelized onions. They were expensive but low quality. We did stop at the library to use the Wi-Fi Hotspot. It was probably the best connection we had since the journey began. Carolina had tried to tell me that libraries would have free Wi-Fi.
We got out to the beach for a low tide walk by about 4pm. You could definitely tell it was low tide because everything that had been covered in water earlier that morning was accessible. We walked out and found rocks covered with mussels and clams. I also spotted a few large star fish and urchins. I would have loved to grab a star fish but they were still alive, and I knew to leave them alone. We snapped a few photos, and got back to Harry for some dinner. I was glad that Carolina’s bee sting did not cause a bad reaction. I know her hand hurt, but by morning it was gone.
