May 20

British Hospitality

 

Just before we ended out incredible trek down the coast highway, we encountered some of the most treacherous curves and inclines ever in the five-mile stretch of road before we reached Ragged Point on Saturday, May 20.

Julie appointed herself our traffic cop and devised methods of getting motorists attention and trying to keep us safe.

We savored our last lunch on the seacliffs, and then headed into a totally different terrain as we made our way south towards the San Simeon and the little town of Cambria.

Our Tibetan friends were quite taken with the huge elephant seals and made many jokes about seal momos, much to the chagrin of our vegan friend, Jannelle.

Our lodging for the first evening in Cambria was donated by Ann, the proprietress of an extremely charming bed and breakfast called The Bridge Street Inn. She seemed a bit dismayed to hear that there were actually 17 of us needed a place to stay, but she rose to the challenge of squeezing us all into her hostelry, and did not flinch at the boxes of groceries we carted in. (Thank you again, Ann, and we are still really sorry about that tea pot.)

Before we set up camp at Anna's place we visited a very "Brit" tea house next door called the Tea Cozy, where we enjoyed a treat of some exotic teas. A bit of a change from our every day Lipton.
