Professor W. Wang and Geoffrey the realtor invited me for lunch. I was planning to have them come to Carmel so I can be a good host, and of course, cut down two hours of driving to San Jose.
They suggested Capitola, near Santa Cruz. I accepted because the Shadowbrook is a restaurant that I had heard about and like to try it. However, they changed their plan to go to Zelda, a run of the milll seaside eatery that was not impressive. The conversation was OK but not exciting. Geoffrey was a nice guy to shared a lot of his experience running assisted and independent living real estate in So Cal.
Since the conversation was not leading anywhere, I focused on the beer and the food. It is not too bad, the hazy IPA was on par so did the calamari. Not sure it worth an one hour drive thought.
Filled with food. I slept for 30 minutes near the vista point on hwy 1. Because of the beer, I wasn’t productive all afternoon. Much to my chagrin.
Should plan better next time.
