Happy Day at Half Moon Bay

The Turk and I spent a cool, windy, sunny afternoon at Half Moon Bay on Friday just to compare Florida with northern California beaches. How do they compare?

We were bundled in layers - not in shorts and t-shirts, We viewed beautiful landscape of wild flowers and mountains - not sandy, flat terrain with lots of palms, scrub bushes and wild flowers, We ate cioppino - not grouper sandwiches at 1/5 the price, We saw an assortment of funky as well as high end items to buy - not piles of t-shirts and beer drinking hats (for spring break), We saw some attempts at fishing - not catching, We saw people dressed as sea lions (wet suits) - not bathing suited humans playing amongst dolphins and manatees with ospreys flying over head.

So - each beach town compares favorably with the other, depending on what you are looking for!!!
Diversity is good.
