The Half Moon Bay Area

(located along the central California coast)

My trusty steed, Amaretto. Always wants to be the first horse to "get there".

The shoreline, as seen from Amaretto.

The impressive side entrance.

Is this Pharaoh counting sheep, or did this sheep swallow a Pharaoh?

[Pictures from the Egyptian Museum in nearby San Jose. Houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on the west coast. They even have a reconstructed underground Pharaoh's tomb!]

A pretty area, but there's a lot of traffic on a summer weekend. Many interesting places to eat. Ate alligator at a Caribbean restaurant in nearby Palo Alto, across from Stanford. Santa Clara, also nearby, was recently rated one of the best places in the nation to raise children.
