SEA RANCH, CALIFORNIA
Travis convinced me to drink pumpkin whiskey beer last night. He was a kind and engaging fellow. This choice in beverage was poor however. The Brewers lost to the Dodgers and had terrible body language in the later innings. This was irksome to my companion. We woke in the bright morning. The fog had finally cleared. I bought a newspaper and coffees from the Surf Market in Gualala. We played soccer on the beach inside a tiny cove, went swimming, and then took a Swedish sauna above a grassy bluff. After the sauna we performed some research in a native plant garden. For dinner we had oysters and some arugula that was nice and wild tasting. After dinner we took the dog for a long walk in the dark. The moon was large but the fog returned and swallowed it.
