Day 2 of the “Papa’s Walk” Challenge.  If you’re not sure what this is all about, see my original blog post.

Today is my birthday.  As a special treat, my husband and I drove to the coastside trail and walked along the Pacific Ocean in Half Moon Bay, CA.

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area (as in southern California), we experience a weather pattern known as “June Gloom” – we get cloudy overcast skies accompanied by fog, drizzle, and cool temperatures.

The skies were gray and visibility was diminished, but we both enjoyed the cool, brisk, two-mile walk, and the sounds of crashing surf and screeching gulls.

We were surprised to discover that we were on the tsunami evacuation route as we headed for home.  Just goes to show – you learn something new everyday.  🙂
