Before we left the Santa Nella House in Guerneville, we ate the most spectacular french toast with pear flambe and the owner took a picture of us on the porch.  

We're getting really used to these signs and we know that they mean what they say.  We encountered this one on the way to Muir Woods, which was much like Armstrong Redwood State Park, but with signs like this:

... also with gift shops at which Ben was able to make friends with this puppet owl.

We stopped about 10 minutes before we reached Costanoa in Pescadero so that we could stretch, breathe, and look at the view a little (and take some pictures before it got dark).

When we got in, we were starving and cranky from driving and found that their general store closed at 4 even though it says it closes at 6 and it was much too early for dinner... We tried to drive to get a snack and gas and found that there's really nothing but ocean and cliffs for about 20 miles in either direction.  Whoops!
