Inverness and movies

This was the view from the deck of our hotel in Inverness, out toward Tomales Bay, on Sunday morning. Calm, serene, beautiful.



We arrived at the Motel Invenerss at noon on Saturday to meet our friends for the weekend. What a gorgeous spot. It was clear and sunny, although very windy. That did not slow us down. Off we went to Drakes' Beach for a lovely walk and lunch at the cafe right by the water. Then back to Pt. Reyes to check out the shops and to check in at the Bovine Bakery, famous in our household for its sourdough bread. We changed our Pt. Reyes Station reservations to a later hour, then headed back to the motel for naps.

We met in the motel's "great room" for cocktails, then headed over to the restaurant for a delicious dinner. I had mussels; luscious. Great conversation, a good bottle of wine, then back to the hotel for more conversation over a cup of tea and some biscotti. And so to bed.

Sunday morning we had breakfast out on the hotel's deck overlooking some rich marshland with interesting birds and wonderful views. We took a drive up to Tomales Bay to see the profusion of wild flowers along the route. Back to Pt. Reyes where I picked up the sourdough loaves I had ordered, and then to home. It was a lovely get-away to reconnect with wonderful friends.


I am probably the only person of your acquaintance who did not like "It's Complicated," the movie starring Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. I thought it was utterly stupid. All except for John Krazinski who plays the intended son-in-law. I LOVE him in "The Office". And I thought he did a great job. Meryl Streep's character was so wishy-washy (unlike her usual roles), Alec Baldwin was an utterly unlikable jerk, Steve Martin wasn't nearly funny enough . . . who thought up this drivel? And why waste Meryl and Steve in it?

Loving "The House of Elliot." More discs should arrive tomorrow.
