Sunset over Bodega Bay

This is beautiful Bodega Bay where the movie The Birds was filmed many years ago. It is not far from Petaluma where we have been staying with Heidi, Ken's former partner who is now like a daughter to us.
We are now on the home stretch. Left Petaluma yesterday for four nights in SanFrancisco then we drive through Big Sur, spend two nights on the cliff tops overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Ragged Point, four nights in Redondo Beach (20 minutes from downtown LA)then home, where hopefully all heatwaves will be over.
Rod has chosen another hotel with a literary theme here in Frisco, The Rex. We dined in the restaurant last night and the bill arrived poking out of the pages of a 1909 book on mathematics. Himself said he had probably studied this very text back in the dark ages when he was a student.
The bar has an old library setting, complete with musty smelling books and deep comfy chairs, with writers desks, complete with old typewriters, along one wall. They even serve literary themed cocktails which I intend to try while I am here. Cecilia the Poets cocktail has midori in it, so appropriate I thought. Was too tired after walking around Sausalito yesterday afternoon to take in the names and all the ingredients but I will do some research and get back to you.
Have not yet put pen to paper regarding train poem but promise to knuckle down when I return home (after completing the dreaded December BAS for Mr Taxman)
Hope you are all managing to keep cool.
