Yeah I'm home !!!!

I grew up in Morro Bay....... There I said it.... I have never really thought of it that way until this trip. You see I spent my life trying to erase so much of what happened to me in Morro Bay that I just "forgot" all the growing up time I actually did there. Until now I would have told you that " grew up in Atascadero" but that's just not so. Most of it was in Morro Bay and now... finally for the first time I was able to see the beauty of the place. In fact I was actually blown away by the beauty ... This is the view from " the hill". That is in fact Morro Rock in the far right hand corner. I spent many hours "climbing" the hill. If you look real close at the lower right hand corner you will notice "the jump" we used to ride our bikes over. I even have a small rock from this very street, lodged below my lower lip from the time I was on the back of my brothers trike pushing us down this hill. Oh yeah and the tree on the left is "the tree".

This is a picture taken from the restaurant we had fish and chips. It really is a quaint little harbor. We watched as a group of pelicans and seagulls harassed the living heck out of a little otter. The otter would come up with his dinner on his tummy and they would try their best to get it from him. He would finish eating, lick his fingers and gently roll back into the water, only to come back up a few minutes later with another tidbit to eat. ( OK I exaggerated about the finger licking part but it sounded good, no?)

This is the view from the base of the rock looking south. Across the way is Cayucus and Cambria. The trees on the upper right was my high school which would have made it really easy to ditch class IF..... that was the sort of thing I would have done back then....hahahahahahahahaha.

This is a close up of The Rock"

And this is "The Rock" in all its glory. Truly I never saw it this way until now. It really is a beautiful place.

More on my trip later....... More pictures too.. Blessings Sue
