A word about the weather: perfect, sunny, warm, great to just sit
outdoors and relax. Which is what we did in the morning in order to
prepare for the rigors of shucking oysters at Hog Island Oyster
Company. Tomales Bay was a lovely backdrop to this late lunch.
The setting could not have been better.
The women relaxed while the men did their duty shucking dozens of oysters before eating them either raw or bbq’ed.
In
addition to finishing nine dozen oysters, we also polished off a half
dozen bottles of wine. Remember the theme: Wine and Food.
After
a drive through the lovely countryside, we sat around talking, relaxing
some more, and, oh, relishing a pot luck dessert.
On
Friday, some of us will return home while others, reluctant to leave
the tranquility of this area, will spend a few more days here. We
expect them to honor the theme.
We all extend a huge thank you to Mark and Ellen for planning such a fun and delicious trip.
