after exploring the cliffs at sunset on our first day in mendocino, we headed over to the local grocery shop to stock up on supplies for the evening: champagne, food, champagne, dessert, and more champagne. then we made our way back to the cabin to drink said champagne in the hot tub and generally enjoy the serenity. it was one of those evenings that i won’t soon forget and i’m very happy that it worked out so nicely.
the next morning, we woke up bright and early with high spirits despite our pounding headaches. blame the champagne. we headed over to a local spot and got breakfast overlooking the ocean. mimosa required. then we explored another epic cliff and snapped some pictures. as you can see, we got a bit carried away since the views were so beautiful and the day was so bright and shiny! it was so nice out that we decided to take highway one all the way back home, which is the scenic route that winds along the california coastline. it brought back memories, since the last time i had seen that portion of the coast, was when we went on a bike tour a couple years back from arcata to bodega bay.
we stopped along the way at various little towns. some that we’d visited before, some that we’d never explored. but the rest of the way, i left the camera tucked in the car, so i guess those parts will have to live in memories!

Every time you post these field trip shots I get the worst jones to go on a road trip. I really need to check out the other half of the bay more! I always hang out down here in Pescadero/Santa Cruz/Monterey… some new scenery would be lots of fun.
