Before we leave San Jose we take in the BodyWorld exhibit at the Tech Museum just down the street from our hotel. We do this later Sunday in the early evening. It is completely amazing. And it is more than just a display of disected bodies. There is Drawer Man, whose body is exhibited in the theme of drawers opening to show the interior of that particular body area. There is the figure skating pair in a death spiral pose that vividly demonstrates muscles at work, as well as the baseball player and skateboarder. There is Angel Woman and X-Woman so named because of the pose the figure resembles with her different layers of muscle exposed. There is Puzzle Man where everything is pulled apart on a plethora of fishing lines to help us better see interiors. On and on these informative and creative exhibits offer innovative ways to help us explore our bodies. This exhibit is actually BodyWorld II. BodyWorld is currently in Charlotte and is so popular that the exhibit has been extended until January.
Monday morning we pack and leave but not before we pick up a prescription for Donny kindly called in by Jeff to a local pharmacy. A tooth is misbehaving.
We decide to take the long cut via Route 9 through the smaller redwood forests to Santa Cruz and then head north to Half Moon Bay. The huge redwoods are much father north but these that we pass are still impressive and so very tall. It is a curvy road up and down the mountainside, making Colington Road a nothing. We pass many pumpkin farms and quaint small towns.
It is not long before we are in Half Moon Bay and follow directions to the cottage. We know where we are going this time, but last year we happened upon it by foot as this street is only two blocks long and dead ends for cars at one end. How did we ever find this place we marvel? It is right in the middle of the bay named Half Moon Bay and today we discover that the actual town is off of Route 1 to the east of where we are.
We have the best travelers' luck!
