Pumpkin farms, pumpkin bath and body works, pumpkin sculpture, pumpkin specials on every menu, pumpkin decorations; it's plain to see that Californians have a love affair with their pumpkins.
We spend our final day in HMB exploring a bit more. Linda has told us the way to get onto the bluff staked out by the Air Force. It is by foot only but you can walk to Moss Beach or beyond. The height is dizzying but fun. You can see where erosion from those Mavericks waves has worked the edges in many places. It's a beautiful day for hiking. The sky has cleared and the sun come out. What a difference the sun makes in the temperature.
Before our hike we have headed to our favorite organic spot for lunch which starts off with what else but pumpkin soup. That with our huge organic sandwiches fortifies us well.
After playing on the bluffs and finding the cedar grove that Linda told us about, we stop at the local surf shop and are told that there may be surf this weekend. Still it's a half mile paddle out to the break so viewing is limited.
Eventually we figure we can head on to San Francisco. We have been asked to check in late and by the time we get to Grant Street it is around four. Still Joe, a good friend of the owner and only cleaning to help her out, is not finished. He tells us where the car park is and says he'll be done soon. We tell him no worries. We wander through Chinatown by car negotiating the one way streets to get to the garage which is close to the apartment but far by one way streets. Finally we are parked and we bid our time just hanging out in the car.
Our new home is right in downtown San Francisco, Chinatown is a block away. Union Square about two blocks away. The docks are close too. We are in the epicenter of everything.
