The hotel we stayed in for a few days in Pacifica was right along the west coast just south of San Francisco. Perfect for walking along the clifts, walking along the beach, watching the waves crash and watching the surfers in their wet suits waiting for that perfect wave! There is a constant breeze, lots of sun (after the morning fog burns off) and not too hot.
We took a walk on a path that went up a hill next to the hotel. It took us higher and higher. It was funny how we kept walking and stopped to look back every once in a while not realizing how far and how high we were! Photos is one Zachary took.
There were wild flowers along the path. We walked over a hill and walked along the beach on the other side where we watched surfers waiting for the perfect wave.
On the walk back, we watch birds. While looking closer at where we were walking instead of the surf and mountains, we found a 3-foot snake skin. We also found what lives in all the holes that were along the path - some had something that was like a mouse but was something else and other holes had snails coming out of them as the sun went down! These snails were bigger than ones we had seen before and there were a lot of them! Another Zachary picture...
Our hotel had a microwave and refrigerator - gave us some other options for meals. We shopped at Safeway and New Leaf. Safeway was like a typical Stop & Shop but New Leaf is a totally organic store! It was like the co-op that we belong to and order from once a month but where we could see all the items like a regular grocery store. The other great thing about New Leaf was the prices...usually organic costs more (in CT anyway). Here, the prices were very reasonable!! I wish we had one in Mystic!!
