Romantic and Relaxing Getaway = Inverness

Inverness is indeed a wonderful retreat and romantic getaway

and our dog was in 7th heaven

there are tons of hiking trails, enough of them dog-friendly to make it fun for people with pooches

and it was interesting to see the oyster farms


and check out all the Earthquake stuff

though the earthquake fundamentals are a little scary to think about:

Earthquake risk notwithstanding, the area is beautiful and rural and there are several delicious, upscale restaurants in Point Reyes Station. I recommend in particular Stellina and the Station House Cafe.

Definitely do not stay at Manka's at least until the lodge is rebuilt. Very overpriced for what you get and the service is sub-par at best. More on that in a different post.
