For the last five days I have been traveling up the California coast with my partner, soon to be hubby, mostly by foot. We have met some wonderfully friendly people who helped us out when they didn’t need to. The air has been fresh and we are getting stronger everyday. The trip has made me think a lot about the purpose of home and work and the place in our lives for adventure and making the time to walk through the area we live. Today we are in Fort Bragg, and though in a car it feels like a small town, walking through it we know it as huge!
I haven’t the technology to share the photos yet, especially of our road meals. The night of day two we had a grand meal at a friends farm with fresh caught crab, home made sourdough bread, abundant greens with eggs from roaming chickens. For breakfast we had oats with fresh goats milk. This meal was probably the best we will have on the trip and reminded me how much better food from a home kitchen is. We haven’t even been able to soak oats, although we are still carrying our soaked/dried nuts, so we get some whole foods with some careful preparation. Even our food made on our feather-light alcohol stove is better than what we find in cafes around. Lots of sardines to and almonds dipped in honey!
Time to write and update is limited, and will be more fun with pictures, so hold tight until the last week of July.
Until then happy home-cooking, simple living, and enjoying the power of your feet to get you to beautiful places.
