We went to Bodega Bay and stopped off at the Hog Island Oyster company. Grilled bivalves and blue cheese – ah yes, this is why people pay those California rents, isn’t it?

We also rented a house on the ocean, and I mean right over the ocean, as in “this house may slide suddenly into the sea and be smashed into pieces like all its neighbors in the very near” future close. Fabulous view, however.
