Ambassador of NorCal: Bolinas, CA


Surfers; Germ



Playing horseshoes (Locals: 12, Outoftowners: 0)

Roomie and I accompanied Laura on her weekly pilgrimage to the Gods of the Ocean (aka Sunday Surfing) in Bolinas yesterday. We ended up kicking it with a motley crew of ten local dudes and one lady as they engaged in their own Sunday ritual: tallboys, etc on the beach. We were won over for a few hours by their poetry, kind hospitality, and steel stomachs (one fellow named "Germ" ate a seagull feather to our delight). Laura got some quality surf time in and Roomie and I ate fish sandwiches.

I have a lot to say about this but I must get to the airport!

As per wikipedia:
Bolinas, California is an unincorporated community in Marin County, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Located along the coast and accessible only via sometimes unmarked roads, Bolinas is perhaps best known for its reclusive residents; historically, any road signs pointing the way into town on Highway One have invariably been torn down by local residents


You get the idea.

i bet you were the one who dreamed up the seagull feather as a comestible idea ;)

Believe it or not - it was completely unsolicited!

Not only did 'Germ' find delight in slurping up his beer via a found feather straw, but he also found the moldy strawberries quite savory. Germ, you're a gem.
