Wednesday, 11 March

After a slow morning and a writing circle, we embarked on a long walk to Capitola for lunch and a lounge on the beach. Our meal was prefaced with meeting a very friendly mastiff, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Zelda's on the Beach. We continued our afternoon with sunbathing and a dip in the water. We trekked back a few hours later to enjoy dinner and a calm evening at the house.

We rested for an hour or two, then began preparing our dinner. We made fresh-baked pizzas with various toppings, including basil, fried sage, butternut squash, and caramelized onions. Our delicious pizzas were accompanied by lively conversation on the topic of what fruit each of us and our friends were. To round off our evening, we played games and concluded our trip with a final writing circle, reflecting on these past couple days and our time spent together.
