Drove over to the east coast with my friend Monica on Wednesday night and stayed in a quaint hotel overlooking the mountains from one side and the ocean from the other. The east coast is much less developed than the west and the scenery is just magnificent. Calm beaches, varied plantlife, surfers, tree-covered mountains and a very relaxed vibe. The owners of the hotel were eager to chat with us and offered us a tour of their farmland and tastes of the fruits growing on the property. We spent the morning at the beach, took a drive along the coast, chatted over lunch with a French baker, hiked over the "eight-legged bridge" to a quiet island then joined some colleagues for a South African dinner and some Stella. Yesterday we had a leisurely breakfast, went swimming then headed back home. Good start to a 4-day weekend that is continuing to be relaxing.
