Good morning. It has turned colder, and the wind has maintained its gusto.

There was a chance that it would drizzle most of the day. Luckily, it did not.
Here is another house for you, Mary R, and it overlooks the ocean.
There are lots of mountains looming in the background.
And lots of little inlets.
There are many beautiful houses along here.

I cannot imagine a prettier bench to sit on and just admire the views. I took a little break here. It was too beautiful not to stop and give thanks.
One of my favorite views.
There was plenty of up and down.
National Coast Watch
A lighthouse
I think this was some type of pheasant? He was beautiful, and ahead of him was a little brown female.
Boaters
Someday, this crack will be much wider, drop by drop.
At the end, I veered away from the ocean and into the woods. Once I got to the bridge, I had to wait about an hour for my taxi, and I thought I was going to freeze to death, not really, but I had stayed warm while I was hiking. When I stopped - Brrrrr.
I had another incredible dinner, this time at the Sandy Mount House. I ordered the Wild mushroom & blue cheese raviolis, which were sautéed wild mushrooms, truffle pecorino, spinach, and clearly made by a talented chef. It was amazing. It was rich without being gloppy and seasoned with a deft touch. OMG!
My dessert was Lemon & fig - charred meringue, lemon curd, fig, almond crumble,
lemon curd ice cream. It was worth every calorie and then some. It had that bright, refreshing lemon taste of a really good lemon meringue pie. I almost didn’t order it because I am not a fan of figs, but these were fresh figs. totally different from those dried, gritty sugar bombs. I will dream about this dessert for months to come. I have been most surprised by the food on this trip, definitely more than just pub grub.
Today’s total miles - 15.3, counting walking to dinner.
Good night and God Bless!
