Travel log - date Saturday June 12, 2010
I arrived at San Luis Obispo on Thursday afternoon and headed to Morro Bay (12 miles) to Ginie's beach house. It is adorable. I got settled in and then took a drive around to re-familiarize myself with the town. I headed back to SLO for the weekly Farmer's Market. I listened to good entertainment, did some people watching, and had a bowl of clam chowder. I also visited the Frontier Natural Market that Jim and I loved last time we visited SLO. The store was packed and I walked out and didn't buy anything. I need to visit again during the day when it should be less crowded. I went back to Morro Bay and watched the sun go down at Morro Rock while I ate a piece of Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble pie from the Farmer's Market.
Friday I went adventuring since it was cool weather. I bought a couple of jackets at the fun Morro Bay thrift store because I didn't pack warm enough. I traveled about 5 miles south of Morro Bay to Los Osos (Osos = bear). A long time ago, the people of Monterey were starving, so the men came to the Los Osos valley and kille a bunch or bears and took the meat back to the people in Monterey and they survived. Anyway - cute town. I ate at the grill in the liquor store that was highly recommended by the Rite-Aid clerk. Great food at inexpensive price. I drove to see the natural history museum, accross from a beautiful state golf course. Ivisited a bird preseve - thus Rite-Aid to buy binoculars. Beautiful - the birds, not Rite-Aid.
