Day 56 - Fiscalini Ranch and Paso Christmas

Once again - we're back on the patio at Firestone Walker. Last year was cold and rainy - much better today!

The patio at Firestone-Walker brewery is our place in the sun for lunch.

Then, we spot it. Why would a "brewery" need an all-glass watchtower? Is this really another front for the Wildfire Lab? Are they hiding something in the beer? The beer is very, very good. Maybe too good.

Something is definitely brewing here. Just look at all that steam.

We can't resist the drive out to the coast on the Santa Rosa Creek Road. It is incredibly gorgeous on this back road - even if the conditions seem a bit worse evry time we pass.

Coastal view from the Fiscalini Ranch seashore.

Dunno if these are Sea Lions or Harbor Seals. They do like their spot on the rocks.

Incredible colours in the cliffside vegetation.

Herds of pelicans fly by. Yes, herds.

These folks have the most amazing and durable beach access stairs from their homes.

The high-rent district of Cambria. They even have a private beach.

Wind blows my fur. Ella looks positively brown in this light.

We have trained our Sheltie to howl when she senses a Minuteman Missile Silo.

View from the highlands towards Moor Bay as we head on back to Paso.

The main square in Paso is decked like we've never seen before. Literally dripping with light.

The centrepiece of it all.

Who wouldn't want to do their Christmas shopping here?

Oh! Christmas Tree!

Christmas primaries.

The town has never been so bright.
