to Morro Bay!
Do you know why the large rock in the bay is called "Morro" Rock? Well, when the Spanish were sailing around, exploring the coast of California, they came upon a large mounded rock that reminded them of the helmet the Moorish soldiers were wearing at the time. Hence... Morro Rock!
At least that's what I've heard.
On our last full day together in the US, Cam and I walked around Embarcadero St. in Morro Bay. We bought (and ate) salt water taffy, I picked out some succulents and a cute pot to plant them in, and then we shared some clam chowder and fish and chips at the Hofbrau on the water. Then we hopped in the car, drove out to Morro Rock and took some pictures. On the way back home we stopped at a farmers market and bought some honey sticks to enjoy in the car (or the walk back to the car...)
