We had company the past 4 days, Hoa and Bryon, from Scottsdale. We had great fun showing them around and they seem to find our part of the coast as attractive and entertaining as we do. We did some fun touring and both ate and cooked some great food.
On Monday we visited some of our local beaches. The closest beach is at the end of our street, about half a mile away but there are several others nearby, each with their own geological features- such as rock, boulders, streams, and tidepools.

Hoa and Byron love to forage and arrived with a lot of blueberries they picked inland a few days earlier. We made several different blueberry cobblers and wonderful blueberry pancakes. Later in the week we found lot of blackberries bushes and made blackberry cobblers and blackberry jam.
We went on a picnic, visited a small farmer's market, several vintage shops, a small local museum, and took lots of photos.

One day we rented a boat and went crabbing. None of us had ever done it before, it was an entertaining adventure.

Then we went home and had a crab lunch. |
Wish you were here.
