Morro Bay

Here are some more pics from our Morro Bay get away.  We brought G's bikes with us and that allowed us to get around town faster.  We really enjoyed having them.  It was so cool because at one moment you were in the sunshine and a few minutes later the fogged rolled in....and then it went out again.  It was an awesome introduction to the fall weather I love so much.

We hiked at the Morro Bay State Park which overlooked the wetlands which we thick with birds.
We drove just south to Los Osos and the Montara State Park to check out that area.  Beautiful place with lots of hiking - but it was socked in with fog.   This was a great time to do a driving tour because we had just scarfed a late breakfast at Frankie and Lola's.  I had an amazing scrambled egg sandwich on sourdough with brie and cranberry chutney.
This guy hung out around our cottage.  One evening as we were walking into town, he took off right over my head and squawked the whole way - it scared the bejeezus out of me!

We decided to rent a canoe instead of kayaks since I had never canoed and I don't remember Jim canoeing the whole time we have known each other.  We canoed all over the bay and wetlands and saw tons of birds, a sting ray, oyster farm, sea lions and otters.  It was a cool way to spend a couple hours. 


Just to round out all our physical activity, we hiked to the top of Black Hill.  We were rewarded with amazing views.  After the paddle and the hike, we got take out Thai food and ate it on our deck while watching the oyster farmers go to work.
