Today was actually warm; we peeled down to one layer and built sand castles this afternoon, after having a late breakfast at Skippers. Later this afternoon, Mom got her long-awaited 90 minute massage (Has it really been two years?) and then we went home to eat, again. One thing about this trip is David has been healthy heathy with oatmeal in the morning, push ups and beach runs. He's lost a few pounds; however, Mom has been pigging out on avocados, tortillas, and after a big dinner (steak, bow ties, salad and a glass of cabernet, ) and to top it off, it was only Mom who went and toasted a marshmallow over the gas stove, to make a s'more for herself, with David and Gracie both declining. Today, Gracie also has been heating large, starting with a crack of dawn wake up to Mom (after asking hourly since 3 am) of graham crackers and milk. (It was Mom's fault, I kept telling her it wait until the sun came up, and the instant it did, Gracie was at my side). At the restaurant, Gracie had 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon and a few bites of scrambled egg; When we got home, she wanted grapes, then had mac and cheese. I think she had cheesy chips with Dad at home, then spaghetios, then a few cookies..David built a fire in the fireplace tonight because even though it was the warmest day, it is the coldest night. This place is nice and cosy. The place next door has been replaced by the "together" family, about six kids, and they do everything together, surfing, playing ball, eating, not loud at all, for as many people there --- also I suspect that it is that house that has this nifty wifi we've been using. On the agenda, Piedras Blancas Light house and the elephant seals, but with the dense patchy fog in the am, I suspect we may have to wait until Thursday. It's been interesting, Cayucos must be in a banana belt because we can see the fog to the north (Cambria) and to the South (Morro bay) and it was so dense to the south, you could not see the rock less than 5 miles away. But it was sunny all day today. Nice.
