December 22 - View with Room


How do you get to UC Santa Cruz?


Study, study --


beginning down 680 through


Contra Costa


and


Alameda,


transitioning


in


Santa Clara to 280, and south on 17.


We


are


touring


the


campus


for


Claire's


sake,


and


the university is still impressive in site and import.



After light refreshments in the


Bookstore Quadrangle,


we


eventually


head


north


again


on


the


Coast


Road


across


the


San


Mateo


border, 



in


and


out


of


fog


towards


Half Moon


Bay,


stopping at Moss Beach Distillery


for


a


late lunch


and


hair-raising


tour


of


the


headlands


(against the bright sun,


could not read the


"Extreme Danger --


Trail Closed"


until downloading the pictures later)... 


Onward


through


Devil's


Slide's


Tunnel,


Pacifica's


Linda Mar


and


Rockaway Beaches,


Daly


City,


and beyond,



along


San


Francisco's


Great


Highway,


Camino del


Mar,


Lincoln


Drive,


and over the Golden Gate to


Marin on this again-reasonably-balmy-for-the-season 47th day of fallish temps -- high again 62, 61 at the University -- composing page 3 24 Tone Preludes: III. Plane Winds in the night.
