Muir Beach- Autumn Delight

        Went to the Marin Coast yesterday on a classic California day: bright, sunny, and warm with clear skies throughout the Bay Area.   The Minister of Industrial Production joined the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor for a visit to the Zen Center at Green Gulch Farm.   We had a nice lunch in the garden(roast turkey sandwiches on sourdough bread) with some lively conversation.  Our group included the Minister of Mining and Metallurgical Sciences.
      From the farm, we walked to the sandy beach which was very busy, even at 4pm.  Hundreds of City dwellers were taking advantage of the unseasonable weather.  There were swimmers in the surf, enjoying a November plunge in the 59 degree water.  No sharks were sighted; although I was assured that they are there, always!
     Bonfires were burning and folks had hot dogs on a stick and marshmallows on fire.  Dogs were running about, but were being agreeable.   As the sun set over the far horizon, it was time to go.  As we reached the farm, the temperature had already dropped several degrees, the normal pattern of diurnal conditions.  We said our goodbyes, and drove over the hill, back to Bayside Marin County.
The weekend is half over, and the sun is still shining.  What a great time to be in California!  We conversed with the Minister of Latin American Affairs in Wash.,DC, and he expressed extreme jealousy over our coastal adventure.  Too bad for you!
    If you are on the slopes, you're enjoying a bit more of sunny California!
