Cambria

Don and I spent a wonderful weekend in Cambria with our dear friends Tim and Sally. On Saturday morning Don and Tim headed out for what turned out to be a very steep and challenging bike ride. But, they survived it and actually enjoyed it.

Here is a picture of Don outside of the house we stayed in. Notice the hole from the woodpeckers in the tree behind him. There were many woodpeckers in the area. I've never seen a tree so full of holes with nuts in them.


Here they are leaving at 8:30 in the morning. They were suppose to meet us at 1 o'clock for lunch and they made in spite of the very steep terrain.

So, here is just one of the many woodpeckers in Cambria.




Sally and I brought our bikes, but we headed down to the ocean. We explored the tide pools. Here is Sally with her back to the ocean. Check out the next picture. "Never turn your back to the ocean." We both actually got a bit wet. But, we had a wonderful time. And we never did get on our bikes, but that was fine with us.

We saw Star Fish and and kinds of things that were alive. What a great tide pool.
Here is a playful sea otter enjoying the day.

On Sunday we headed to Hearst Castle. Don and I hadn't been there for over 30 years. We actually had a wonderful tour. The pools were my favorite part. Below is a view of the outside pool and the inside pool. The inside pool was a mosaic made with Murano Glass. Since I have been looking at mosaic lately, I was very impressed.

Here are Tim and Sally listening to our tour guide in one of the gardens. Thanks so much for inviting us to join you Tim and Sally. We had a great time.
