let's get away for the week end, GG is clear, it is going to be hot!!
Went to visit my friend Julia family in Eureka, CA
There is a lot of farm land around Eureka, with lot of cows
they are a giant creamery in Loleta
they make milk products and cheeses
We found great cheeses, the Fontina was delicious, at the Cheese factory
they also grow locally squash and artichokes
Julia's grand pa makes a great American breakfast with Portuguese sausages (sort of chorizo)
the local attraction is an old victorian village, Ferndale, CA,
with a huge bridge over some very dry river.
I was told that in 1964 the whole area was devastated by flooding
the town looks like a movie set and it is quiet fun to hang out there
the Mercantile store caught my eyes, there were a lot of little fun stuff and tons of English food
after a few days,
were were back on 101 also know as Pacific Coast Highway,
to San Francisco
we stopped at the Redwood State Park to admire the great tall trees
we could also take pictures standing inside of the giant trees
last pit stop before the city, beautiful Italian restaurant with delicious pizzas
Back home!!
