This was unfortunately the day we decided to drive down the coast because the rains were non-stop. We stopped at Nepenthe for lunch because of the excellent views
but after looking at the menu
and recording ourselves
and the waiter, delightful views to be sure,
this was all we could see outside.
Fortunately, the french fries
artichokes
hot sauce
and sandwiches
prepared us for the dessert menu
which was studied
and discussed with Jane
who posed with me
as Suzanne and Ben posed and then we began the treacherous ride through heavier rains, rock slides, fog, ... all of the things you don't want on that road until we got to Cambria.
Once settled in Cambria, we headed to the West End Bar and Grill and studied the menus
with televisions in all directions
and this martini helped me to forget the drive
as Suzanne had her wine
and we ate our various meals
though this soup seems to not have agreed with Jane
even as the sandwiches served the rest of us well.
