half moon bay (23)

brunch in half moon bay today as the last round of birthday food. i went out there with wild. we had a great day browsing the shops and eating our way throught the town… or at least trying to. we made a grand attempt at pumpkin ice cream, but were thwarted. somehow the ice cream place had let their pumpkin go soft, too soft to be served in a cone even. i can’t imagine how this happened as none of the other flavours were in the same state.

after touring the main street, we headed down for a stroll on the beach. every so often we would catch the stench of death (litterally, it turned out). as we rounded the corner back to the parking strip, we heard the woman in front of us call out to her friend, ‘look [name], there’s another dead seal!’ sure enough, there was a dead seal on the beach. i declined to take pictures of it, poor thing.

these are my feet in the bathroom of the hotel where we had brunch. mmmmmm, stuffed french toast.
