Coastal cliff hike with my love and our two pups. Weather was fantastic, and the views amazing. This is a cliff walk over Mavericks Beach and within walking distance to where we stayed. The movie poster is of the movie “Chasing Mavericks”, filmed at this location.

The first four days were cold and overcast, but it gave me the opportunity to read a lot! I knocked out four books! The final three days were sunny, hot, and humid as what […]
