Morro Bay

So, we stopped in Morro Bay for a couple of days. I just fell in love this town!! The folk here are so friendly, both literally and ecologically and just a couple miles inland you can find gorgeous vast ranches. There are even large ranches directly on the bluff a few miles north of the town.

a large field we found for Gia and Cedar to run around on

When we got here, the neighborhood Farmer's Market was going on in their downtown street area. They shut down a portion of Main Street and they hold it every Saturday from 2-7 PM. What I really loved about this town was that it consisted mainly of local businesses. Also, everyone was sooooo friendly. I mean everywhere we walked we would get a wave or a smile.. perhaps it was because we had Cedar and Gia with us which always generates smiles..

The park we ended up staying at, called Cypress-Morro Bay, was right in the heart of Morro Bay and walking distance from everything you would possibly need! Here are some pics of our campsite..

So here are a few pics of the adorable town of Morro Bay...

Awesome local store that specialized in all different kinds of cooking herbs

Old Town Morro Bay

They had an awesome local health food store with a vegetarian cafe in the back. This place was unique because they sold some pretty hard to find vegan items such as food-grade cocoa butter to make vegan white chocolate.

Black Bean tostada with their homemade cilantro dressing

It was pretty awesome to be walking distance from a town and the water. (actually I guess we're pretty used to that living in Encinitas) ;)

Our last day in Morro Bay, we decided to rent those two person bikes or you might know them by their technical name, surreys. It turned out to be a gorgeous day and we got to ride to Morro Rock and explore. (The other days we were here were wet, rainy, and gloomy, but that was also nice because it prompted us to stay indoors)

Cedar is such a nerdie!

On our ride... Cedar got front row

Peddling with one person is harder than it looks...

Huge waves on this side of the bay

A funny surf shop sign we saw on our walk.. (you have to read it out loud to get the funny joke)

on our way out of Morro Bay

Crazy Elephant Seals all along the coast!!

Since we only stayed a couple of days we really didn't get to appreciate the town to its fullest but we enjoyed being able to experience this awesome town! I really loved the vibe of the town... I liked it so much I looked into some real estate opportunities for this area..Who knows we might be new inhabitants of the city of Morro Bay! :)
