But if you want some real exotic Summer wildflowers There are only miles north Between Half Moon Bay and Pacifica. So exotic, they become a tourist. Attraction with folks getting out of cars to take pictures of the plants, with some life-sized plants.

And what is this? Is it a Mirage Or a real retro bowling alley stuck on the side of a cliff. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean. And it looks like it’s still operational only we’re there during the day time. You’ve got to come back one evening.
