We continue to inch our way northbound along the California coast.

Since the last update we stopped at Cafe Kevah which is part of Nepenthe in Big Sur.  We had stopped in this restaurant during a previous trip and decided we needed to stop again.  It has not changed any, which is a good thing. I had Eggs Benedict and Diane had Cafe Kevah Eggs Benedict with a twist - dungeoness crab and avocado. 

From there we drove through Carmel-by-the-Sea.  There we were mostly looking for a Starbucks with WiFi and we found it.  We saw several people that looked like famous people, one looked like Robert Redford. No Clint Eastwood. Does he even live there anymore?

Then we went to Monterey. We had been to the wharf in a previous trip so we went to Cannery Row instead. There we saw a guy that looked a lot like Denzel Washington.  Maybe it was.  He was buying expensive jewelry and having it shipped somewhere else.

Santa Cruz was next.  They have an awesome boardwalk with roller coaster and Ferris wheel.  Traffic was pretty bad and parking places pretty scarce so we we drove on through.

Along the way we stopped in Pescadero Beach, with a view towards Half Moon Bay.  All beaches here are fantastic, and there are hundreds of them.

We finally arrived at our temporary destination, Half Moon Bay.  We had intended to go into San Francisco in the next few days but that might change.  A friend of ours lives in a little town that is about as far as San Francisco but inland.  We might go there instead.  I am not big on big cities and crowds. We'll see and we'll let you know in the next update.
