Looking out from Pigeon Point, California Coast

      At the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, there is a nice deck behind the museum and on the side by the ocean. The Pacific is not very pacific in this area. There are sea lions on the rocks and whales going by North or South depending on the time of year. As part of the lighthouse grounds is a hostel.
      We like to drive along the coast from Half Moon Bay and stop at the lighthouse. We walk out on the deck and sit on the benches and watch for anything we can see. There is always something. I often think about how often we get in a jet and fly half way around the globe when we could just drive a couple hours (in traffic) from our house.
