Coast Trail

Saturday. Beth and I did our customary garden tour and maintenance in the morning. It is good for the garden when we look at every plant daily. My mole traps are idle. Since I set them, the moles have kept a  low profile.

We hiked five miles in the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. A beautiful loop beginning near the Youth Hostel down the Coast Trail to Limantour Beach; and back up to the Youth Hostel. 

Late afternoon, we drove to San Francisco for the night. Fishing again tomorrow. Years from now, when someone asks how I survived Covid 19, I'll tell them, I escaped by fishing as much as possible.

Beth and I had a delicious takeout Italian dinner from the Ideale Restaurant in North Beach, courtesy of our friend David Zalob. David usually invites a large group for lunch at Ideale to celebrate his birthday. He turned 73 this year. Under the circumstances, he invited everyone to have a takeout meal or eat on the street.

 While on the subject of food, I have been living vicariously through my sister Lynn, BIL Jason, brother Mike and mom who are sheltering together in Berkeley. Lynn and Jason are serious foodies. Mike is the kitchen boy and pitmaster. Here is what they had tonight:

Chicken marinated in homemade  Indian chutney with mint lime juice, olive oil, yogurt and cilantro.   Arugula and little gem salad with peaches and burrata dressed with  olive oil and balsamic vinegar, finished with Maldon Salt. Barbecued organic corn.
