Eureka

We've had a good routine this trip - breakfast and dinner at the campsite - but then fun lunches prepared by someone with more skill and imagination and ingredients. With some careful searching and filtering, the internet is a great way to find places you might otherwise miss. Our trips have become a nice blend of old-fashioned discovery and high-tech reconnaissance. Or is it the other way around?

We had lunch at Cafe Nooner on Opera Alley in Eureka's Old Town, where I had an oyster Po' Boy and M had some sort of falafel-stuffed flatbread. Both were very good. We walked over to Living the Dream on the waterfront for ice cream. Normally, I eat the ice cream and M resists, but this time none of the flavors really did it for me and we swapped roles.
