Our last full day in Trinidad. And maybe the last post of the trip. We will spend tomorrow night in Merced, CA and Monday night in Twentynine Palms, CA. We’ll be home on Tuesday. If we see something exciting, we’ll post. If not (more likely), we won’t. Next trip is Elaine’s girl trip to Portugal for a river cruise. She doesn’t blog, so I’ll post about her trip when she returns with some of her photos. Then it will be Christmas in Dingle.
Saturday broke cloudy. Alarmingly, we got Google warnings on each of our cell phones about a 4.6 magnitude earthquake 45 miles away at about 8:26 am. We felt nothing, and there was nothing on the local news on tv about it.
We went back again to the Sea Scape Restaurant for breakfast. It was very busy, but we had a great breakfast. As we sat there, the skies began to clear. Skillet for Elaine. Hangtown Fry (oysters) for me with a side of bacon.
Trinidad Pier is right outside the door to the Sea Scape, so we walked the pier. The fishermen are fishing for rock fish and small sea bass. They weren’t getting any bites while we were there.
On the small nearby beach, there was an painting class going on. No oil spills or rough tides today. That’s on the cove side behind Trinidad Head.
Just a short walk away is Trinidad State Beach on the open ocean side of the head.. Much rougher surf. We had a nice walk. That’s not me fishing (although I am in one pic).
The afternoon was at home during another perfect weather day. Overall the weather on the trip was grand! One rainy day and one storm day. Otherwise, pretty darn good. We had cocktails on the deck under sunny skies and dinner at home (leftovers). We’re packed up and will be off at about 7:30 am for Merced. Some final pics from the deck. I shared my vodka tonic with the seal.
Thanks to everybody for viewing the blog and for the comments. All are appreciated.
Bye for now.
I have a cousin in Merced!
He is George Harrison.
The Sea Scape restaurant is so beachy. Love it. And I would love to dive into Elaine’s skillet breakfast and your bacon right now. What a nice walk on the pier and the beach. So glad you missed the oil spill, the rough waters and, especially, that earthquake. That’s quite the log fish you caught, Joe.
Thank you both for sharing your trip with all of us. Breakfast won’t be the same without the blog to enjoy with it. Have a safe trip to Merced, Twentynine Palms and on to Scottsdale.
Enjoyed spending your vacation with you! Safe travels home…
Have a safe trip!
Know Elaine will love Portugal – everyone raves about it!!
Elaine is the artist in the family – she should have been out there painting!!
