Travel-velocity slow to stop

Travel is tough when the view looks like this. For me actually it isn't the rain that keeps me home but the city view. I love my San Francisco view plain and simple. It makes it difficult for me to leave. Crazy? Maybe. I certainly have friends who can't wait to get away to somewhere warm and dry by the time February and March arrive. They either live in the snow and are tired of shoveling the white stuff and driving through it, or they live in the northern wet and muddy regions. However for me, I can't complain because for the most part our weather in San Francisco is mild compared to places like Seattle or Boston. So, I think I will sit here and enjoy this passing storm, not complain when I have to put on a rain slicker to take the dog out for a walk, and contemplate my return to Japan. I am due for an Asia adventure and it has been quite a few years since a flight took me in that direction. So far three good reasons: Japanese friends are having babies, I'm intere...

Moss Landing Monterey's Country Cousin


Moss Landing is a delightful and often overlooked little town on the coast - between Santa Cruz and its more famous neighbors to the south, Monterey and Pebble Beach.

With the agriculture in the area, one of the nicest and juiciest fruits grown locally are the strawberries. Come to town and savor all the strawberries you can hold during the annual Watsonville Strawberry Festival on August 1 and 2, 2009. I like this festival way more than the Garlic Festival in the town of Gilroy, several miles north. Garlic ice cream? Never. Strawberry cake? Always!




Another unique aspect to this part of California, is the workers and the migrant labor. An interesting by-product are the snacks sold at the road side stands. These spicy nuts are typical and perfect with an icy cold Dos Equis beer.



We love Moss Landing and a huge bonus if you take the time to visit, is their quite famous antique fair. Late July is their amazing street fair and worth stopping to see if you are looking for deals. Monterey and Pebble Beach may get all of the attention, but Moss Landing is more than the country cousin.
