Mi Casa (Morro Bay, June 2024)


I said I’d have the last of my New York reports from May this weekend but here’s a report from Morro Bay in June instead. New York, California: same thing really.

I’ll have a few meal reports to come from our days in San Francisco but here, first, is the lunch we ate in Santa Barbara, just a few hours after setting out from Seal Beach. Continue reading
