Bolinas Pirate Shack

This past weekend we decided to take advantage of Stacey's short time off between teaching quarters at Stanford and get away for a few days. We stayed in a "Pirate Shack" on the coast in Bolinas, CA, which was part bohemian bungalow and part greenhouse.  We managed to beat the rain for most of the trip, so we were able to explore the Point Reyes coast without getting too wet.

Bougainvillea snaking its way around the cafe table in the corner

The Pirate Shack was filled with colorful odds and ends

Point Reyes Lighthouse, where we looked for whales but didn't see any

Tons of Douglas Iris in bloom all along the hillsides

Point Reyes has an incredible diversity of plant species

These red and green succulents were everywhere

Lots of orange lichens, too
