Another Lazy Day with a View

 Another lazy morning with an incredible view.  It is hard to want to venture out of this incredible home in this weather.  We finally left the house in search of food.  We ate breakfast at Breakers in Pacifica.  There was a line out the door when we arrived.  The food was mediocre at best.  We picked up a few items at a convenience store and headed back to our home in Montara.  

We were almost there when we were stopped by emergency vehicles.  More and more kept arriving.  Firefighters headed out to the edge of the cliff and called down to someone below.  They finally let us go but we had no idea what drama was taking place at the bottom of the cliff.  When we got home I learned on Twitter that two surfers had gotten too far north of Montara Beach and were trapped on the rocks.  They were pulled up uninjured.  

While on Twitter, I also learned that Highway 1 had been closed (northbound and southbound) this morning in Montara due to a mudslide.  The clean up crew must have just finished when we headed out in search of food.  The weather here has been truly incredible and a bit frightening.

We came back to our AirBnB and decided that as soon as it stopped raining hard we would head down to the hot tub and make use of it.  We weren't strong enough to get the cover off completely but we folded it back enough to climb in.  It was glorious!

We thought we would only stay briefly but it was so delicious we didn't get out until the rain had made it impossible to see through our glasses.  

By then we felt so relaxed it was hard to think of doing anything.  Gayle napped and I tried to figure out how to have pizza delivered to our place so we didn't have to go out to find food for dinner.  I struck out.  It appears that our location is too far from Half Moon Bay and Pacifica to make delivery feasible.  

We didn't have any way to watch the Oscars except on Gayle's iPad.  I really wanted to watch the Oscars.  I love movies and I never got to see all the nominees while I was working.  This year I made it an obsession. I saw every movie nominated in every category except for "The Quiet Girl", which I wasn't able to access.  So we set up Gayle's iPad on the dining room table and finished the jigsaw puzzle while we watched a tiny screen.  

Since we couldn't get anyone to deliver food we had our standby for dinner -- toast and orange slices.....with kettle chips on the side.  It was more satisfying than the breakfast at Breakers.
