Natalie has come up with the brilliant idea of A Walk About Town, a weekly feature hosted at Coffee and a Book Chick. Anyone can participate…just write about a spot in your town, or a spot you’ve visited.
***************
I live in Morro Bay, which is a small town on the coast of California. Lucky me, since we live on a hill (and lucky me I don’t live with a guy named Jack), I can see the Pacific Ocean from my living room. I can also see Morro Rock (which translates as Rock Rock, or more specifically, “a rocky outcrop in the shallow waters of a harbor, often round in shape and sometimes very high” Rock…however you look at it, it’s redundant).
I rarely venture down to the Embarcadero, which is the street that runs along the bay. It’s mostly tourist shops and restaurants. But it’s also kinda pretty, so one morning I headed out before the shops opened to take some pictures of the bay and that big rock rock that marks the entrance to the harbor.
I love the pink boat! It looks so quiet and peaceful there, and I am wondering if that was because it was chilly, and no one was out, or if it was just an off time. Great photos today, Jill. Looks like somewhere I would like to visit!

I’m totally jealous. So so so pretty, and all I can see from my house is other houses and grass and some small trees. Typical Texas.

Touristy or not, it would be tough for me to stay away from that. It is beautiful. Now I want some fish and chips…

We live in San Jose, but head to Paso Robles for wine tasting 5-6 times a year. We ALWAYS make time to head to Morro Bay for Lil Hut Fish and Chips. A trip down there would not be the same without it!
I got hungry for fish and chips looking at this post. Gluten-free fried fish is not to be enjoyed though. LOL.

Oh … you’re so lucky to live in such a quaint place. Can you adopt me? I’m quiet and I’ll share my books.

It looks like a lovely rock rock! I’d love to visit it one day!

Gorgeous pictures, Jill! So much more beautiful than my small-town Ohio in the middle of winter. I definitely want to come visit you now!

Egads! I’m so sorry, I missed your post on Thursday! (Don’t forget to link it up!)
Wow, this is just beautiful! I would love to see the Pacific Ocean from my door. When we lived in North Florida, I lived close to the water, but didn’t see it from a window or door. (The first townhouse we lived in, I only had to walk one block, though. That was fun!) I love everything about the beach, the water, the air. It’s just so peaceful.
I only visited California a couple of years ago for a few meetings in San Diego and then in Ontario, but I loved every second of it! Would move there in a heartbeat!
Thanks so much for participating this week!

Beautiful! I loved seeing your home town. These are just gorgeous. I can’t believe you can see the Pacific from your living room. I’ve never seen it before at all!

I love how all of the pictures are in the pretty frames. Scott would love living here as he’s obsessed with sailing (he’s still pissed that I made him sell the boat after I found out I was pregnant). And I would love the Lil Shack. Mmmm!
Jealous of your room with the view…
