My favorite weekend morning routine is: getting up really early while the best wife of all is still sleeping, filling a thermos with Earl Grey tea, cutting some fruit, and grabbing Nina as soon as she wakes up to drive the 10 minutes over the hill to Half Moon Bay, buy fresh Blueberry bagels at Safeway and park the car at Pilarcitos Avenue.
We walk over a small wooden bridge to the beach, where a little bench is already waiting for us. It is our sanctuary. The sound of the waves, the sun, the fresh air, some food and tea, all of that just makes us happy.
Sometimes our friends Vikram and Nikhil join us too. If you are in the ‘hood, please swing by, have a bagel, a cup of tea, and a bear hug.
Highly recommended. If you can’t swing by, go out and find your own little sanctuary.
