I'm exhausted, and ready to dive into bed again, but I just wanted to share a few small, but totally phenomial experiences with you...
1) Naked Jacuzzi at Pigeon Point under about 5 gazillion stars, below freezing rain, and beside the crashing, Pacific Ocean...
2) This morning, an end-to-end full rainbow hung from the blue sky as we drove back up to SF. Yes, it is sunny today and it is raining. 2004 was a strange, strange year, but I think the rainbow was a good omen for 2005.
3) We tried to get on a tour at Ano Nuevo to see the elephant seals, but after 2 tours passed us by (you need to reserve in advance), we choose a independant hike instead. Once we reached "new year's beach" (yes, that's really what it is called!), there was an elephant seal basking on the beach. We got to see one anyway! (Alas, we did not get to see the pups, however.)
California is so unbelievably beautiful in its own particular way, it takes time to get used to it again. It's like another planet, not conforming with any particular idea of what a beautiful place looks like. (France, on the other hand, looks exactly like what a beautiful place is supposed to look like.) I took about 50 pictures on one beach on our way down the coast yesterday, until I both ran out of space on my memory stick and ran out of battery on the camera.
Happy New Year, everyone.
