The next day began with breakfast at the Printer's Ink where Barbara ordered this chocolate croissant ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100687 Jacobo had this bagel ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100688 and I had the granola with fruit and yogurt. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100689 This was all meant to fortify Jacobo and me for our walk which began after we drove to Pillar Point ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100690 and went up to the trail from which we caught wonderful views of the Pacific though it wasn't clear if the tide would allow us to return along the beach. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100691 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100692 After observing the seal warnings ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100693 we cast our view below ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100694 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100695 and made our way down to the beach ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100696 where along our walk we saw many signs of erosion often geologically induced which will make this area very different far into the future ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100697 though the driftwood would undoubtedly be better. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100698 I stopped to record what was ahead ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100699 and then to notice Jacobo navigating his way ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100700 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100701 when we came upon the seals (about whom we had been taught proper behavior previously. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100702 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100703 After capturing some views down the beach ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100704 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100705 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100706 I recorded Jacobo ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100707 and then we headed off the trail and into Half Moon Bay to M coffee ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100708 where the old barristas had cleaned up their act ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100709 and so were replaced by the next generation ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100710 who served my salad ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100711 and Jacobo's quesadilla ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100712 which made Jacobo ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100713 and me happy. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100714

Next I made my way to the airport where I returned my rental car and Sarah picked me up. We decided to take a walk and stopped at Pier 39 to see the sea lions who though small in number were jockeying for position ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100715 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100716 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100717 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100718 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100719 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100720 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100721 as we read the tale of their existence ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100722 and then moved to a position from which Alcatraz was very clear. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100723 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100724 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100725 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100726 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100727 Moving on, we went to the sour dough bakery where I captured this alligator (note the snake in its mouth) ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100728 as the baker did his thing. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100729 Moving along, we passed the In-N-Out burger ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100730 ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100731 and this walking advertisement for Ghiradelli chocolate ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100732 before going to Sarah's wine club where we sampled the wines of the day (Viognier and Petite Sirah were best) and I learned a new expression ("that wine tastes higher than its price") ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100733 before we were treated to a taste of this excellent wine which did taste its price (about 3 times the prices of the other wines) ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100734 and befriended Sean the bartender who told us the story of his life in the world of analytical philosophy ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100735 before taking our picture. ../../../Sabbat/2011/11.02-05.11California//P1100736
