Our last night at a California beach.

We drove up a few miles to Orick, California and had supper at an old diner.  Chicken fried steak with hash browns and fresh vegetable soup was the special of the day and it came with soft serve ice cream for dessert.  Of course, I had to try the fresh blackberry pie (berries picked before work in the morning by the pie chef!)  We stopped to pick up some staples at the grocery and were greeted by 2 young entrepreneurs selling blackberry jam: $5 for a pint.  They said it was great stuff, "if you don't like the seeds you can just spit 'em out or swallow 'em.  It's great on, well, anything, and our Mom makes it and she's a really good cook." So, of course, I bought one.



This young man was smelting, and it was amazing to watch.  He filled that net with small, shiny fish that the gulls were waiting to get away from him!

This is probably one of my favorites, from an artistic perspective.  I have no idea who they are, but the little girl was wearing a pretty grown up sized jacket!

Another gorgeous sunset over the Pacific.
