Cambria experience- Part 1

Long time no post.. That's because I was thoroughly enjoying every second of the vacation time. Not that blogging is not fun, its just lesser fun than actually living the fun. :)

When we booked a week long vacation in the small town of Cambria, everyone wondered what we would do in such a small place. (excluding me becos I can never get enough of Anshu and the lil ones and could be on an isolated island forever!)
Cambria is beautiful and has a lot of character.
In my previous post on frogs, I kept on wondering about significance of frogs in Cambria. Sure enough after a little bit of googling I found out that it indeed has frog fascination. It has something got to do with the Artifacts Gallery, the favorite gallery of the famous “Frogman” artist, Tim Cotterill.
So what did we do in Cambria.. We went for walks along the beach and other beautiful trails.

Oh and the city ordinance does not allow any chains like Starbucks, Kmart, Safeways etc. No wonder the experience was like going to a foreign land.
How far can you drive without hitting a McDonalds or Burger King? Main St is lined with beautiful local stores with local art. So just walking on the Main street was a great experience. We bought a lot of interesting art work.
And there was the famous olallieberry pie at Linns and the fudge. Stay tuned!
