We started with brunch and local shopping. We headed for the local pub serving good food and ordered egg with tortilla salsa and beans and fettuccini Alfredo pasta ..
We shopped at local clothes store and decides not to buy anything because it was very expensive. The local beads store was run by a indo Nepal couple who explained how they perceive five elements of universe to bring together the incense sticks and other aromatic products with therapeutic power. Since I am a sucker for chocolate, I found a chocolate shoppe run by a man who moved from Brussels. Bingo! Belgian chocolate collection that's exactly where you will find me !! I shopped Belgian dark chocolate chunks for making a wonderful cake at home and a chocolate bar with hazel nuts. I usually get a fridge magnet wherever I travel to build my memory wall back home, I got one of that and clicked pics near Mendocino downtown.
Then we went to big river beach which was beautiful ... 
Then we drove down the scenic path via elk city towards point arena to see the light house . We stopped near vista point saw sea lions swim in the ocean took some pictures and videos and headed to see the light house and museum.
It was one of the most beautiful coastal view I have seen
We grabbed a milkshake from local cafe and then drove back to fort Bragg to look at glass beach then leave for willits to drive back to Bay Area on Sunday.
So the local tale is around 1950's-60's glass beach was used as a dumping site to trash the bottles and garbage. Since then the ocean had washed up and broken the bottles into several small bits of glass which you can see in the beach .. We picked up a spot to sit and see the glass shine and ocean soar higher. It was very calming
We grabbed dinner at Denny's and headed back via CA 1 to Willits to get some sleep before heading back to Bay Area.
Eggs for my dinner and a desert to share
