Turkey Trot
November 25, 2010

It was beautiful here for Thanksgiving this year. Andy took these pictures as he ran to the start at Lover's Point for the decidedly unofficial, annual Turkey Trot. As I understand it, the goal is to run towards Asilomar and back within 1 hour exactly. Whoever returns closest to the 1 hour mark gets an ugly trophy to hold and keep safe until next year. We have several pictures of friends and I'm still figuring out if sending pics as an e-mail attachment is couth.

With all the wind we had last week in the late-afternoon, it sure is nice to enjoy a calm evening stroll by the water. You can see the squid boats heading out in the second pic. I really do think they take the weekend off since we didn't see them Friday or Saturday nights. You can see a photographer with his tripod and assistant on the beach in the first pic; this is a very common sight around here. I told my husband to slug me if I ever start talking about acquiring a large tripod and massive lens. He just grinned at me. These pictures were taken from Lover's Point.
