Left San Francisco

We left The Hotel Mirabelle and went back to the Embarcadero, circling around under the Golden Gate Bridge, then south. That alone was more than five mile, I'm sure.

The beach along San Fran's west side is windblown and chilly, but very beautiful. The Devil's Slide was the first big damn big hill we had to climb.  The Big Sur style of climb, but just outside of San Francisco,

No super sized surf at Half Moon Bay's Maverick's, but one can only dream. This lone sea lion, or is she a a sea elephant?  Anyway, she is OK, despite those sad eyes.  She is doing a "Catastrophic Moly" which is not as bad as it sounds, so don't worry, just enjoy looking into those deep pensive eyes,

 A steady peddle after that got us to Pescadero and it had us a bit worried. No lodging in the whole town but asking around we found the McCormick House. Built is 1865 it is your usual large California Victorian, very nice with a great wild garden full of flowers.

 Mauro rented us a room upstairs and we even have wifi so I can post this. Today, a bit over 50 miles. Have to do at least that much each day if we are going to make LA in ten days.
