Pescadero

      The day after we arrived in San Francisco, Nick, Grandma, Lucy, and I went for a drive to Pescadero. It is an hour south off the coast. It was an overcast day, but the drive was still very scenic. Alison met us at the trail head, and we went for a short walk along the coast. Before we started, Lucy read from her hiking book that Pescadero is the tick capital of the nation. Nick and I found several on us later after returning home. (Sorry Jason)
     After our walk, we headed into the town of Pescadero to have dinner at Duarte's. Duarte's is a small but well-known restaurant. They are famous for their pie, and also, their cream of artichoke and cream of green chili soups. Nick got the cream of artichoke soup and a fresh salad with veggies grown right out back. I got the cream of green chili soup and some goat cheese ravioli, which I shared with Alison. Nick and I both got pecan pie for dessert. It certainly was not disappointing.
