Along the coast

We drove over to the coast from Paso Robles today, first to Cayucos. Gary's cousin has been wintering there recently and will soon move there from Minnesota full time. We had hoped to rendezvous with him in Cayucos, but he was away, so we had to content ourselves with having lunch where he recommended (excellent recommendation!) and seeing a little of this charming coastal town. We think we've been there before, but we're not sure. We've been in Morro Bay several times as well as Cambria. Cayucos is between those two towns.

We had wonderful fish tacos at Smokehouse, sitting just yards away from the beach. We wandered around and walked out on the old pier, built in 1875, I think I remember. Saw the charming house that will soon be home to Gary's cousin. (Didn't take a photo. Relatives: You will just have to go visit him!)

Then we started our drive back along several lovely, hilly, scenic roads. Everything is so green! Lots of wildflowers.

We stopped at several wineries to taste. The wineries in this area are making very good wines! One, Niner, has recently opened a beautiful tasting room - huge, welcoming and would be a great wedding venue!





The fog is persisting along the coast, but it was a lovely day anyway.
