Of course, there were pumpkins. The largest winner was 1,535 pounds, just under 700 kg !!
Molly and the pumpkins, and her pumpkin hat.
Molly was kind enough to take a photo of me and the pumpkins. (Sorry, she didn't have a spare pumpkin hat.)
We tried some pumpkin cheesecake. It was a curious mixture of a slight pumpkin taste and the usual cheesy cheesecake taste but not sweet enough for a cheesecake.
There were a lot of stalls. I lost count of the number of photography stalls, there must have been about 2 dozen.
Farmer Mike was back for his 25th year of pumpkin carving.
His main carving was of Mastermind from some 3d movie that was being promoted. The whole festival was a bit too commercial.
We ate some calamari. There was no pumpkin in it.
There was a crazy Asian dude dancing around in front of the camera, singing into the mic to promote CW Bay Area which is a local TV station.
We walked back up the row of stalls and then head south towards a pub for lunch. We stopped at the Ritz Carlton day spa, that was located in the middle of a golf course.
Favorite photo.
I wouldn't mind one of those houses either, the cliff was just behind me.
The cliffs were rugged too.
A cart pulled up in front of us with a bride and groom on boad ready for their photos.
Personally I thought they were a little close to the cliff.
But the resulting photo would have been awesome.
As I said, rugged cliffs.
With an interesting geological feature at their base.
I love the juxtaposition of the bride, the bikini girl and the indifferent crowd.
We then walked around the other side of the point and looked north. It reminded me a little of looking into Lorne.
Another funny sign. They apparently went up after the Thailand one.
We finally made it to Duarte's Taven for a late lunch ...
Molly still had her pumpkin hat on.
Crab and artichoke omlet. Yum !
Went for a wander around Pescadero after lunch.
We then headed back to home and I stopped to take a misty mountain shot on the way.
Thanks again to Molly for great day.
