We decided to push on, and checked out of MacKerricher around lunchtime. Before leaving the area, we decided to see a bit of the charming town of Fort Bragg, so we headed ever so slightly south.

Driving through town, we spotted a sign that said ‘veggie’ in a bistro window. We excitedly parked in the next available spot and charged in. (Okay, it wasn’t that action-packed, but pretty darn close!)

The restaurant we had our eyes on was closed until dinner so we walked through the building and came upon an even better option: Living Light Cuisine To Go. The entire place (not just a large portion here, folks, but the whole eatery) was vegan – and a better portion of their food was raw! Seriously, angels came out and sang a song just for us. ;)

We both enjoyed our sunflower burgers and sampled each others soups. Can you say taste explosion? Once we were through marveling at our meal, we sneaked back inside and got a lemon tart to go. To go with what? Coffee of course.

Coffee and tart in hand, we made our way to an ocean side park to enjoy our treats and check email. We consulted the map and plotted our next point of attack, then set off.

We thought we could avoid that very, very winding road by heading North then South, but it turns out that all of the roads in that region are windy. The word ‘corkscrew’ comes to mind. No exaggeration.

After a hot standstill thanks to construction (orange is not our favorite color at the moment) we knew where we wanted to go next, but neither of us wanted to drive straight through. We did the smart thing and got ourselves a cheap room at a Motel 8 (one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, by the way!) We went to a grocery store for some more crunchies and munchies and on the way out saw a riot – well, a small impersonation of a riot…but it was a riot none the less. ;)

After dinner we soaked up some stupidity from the tube and went to bed.
