New Year's weekend celebration in Korlandia

We spent New Year's with Ben, Robin, Jakob and baby Noah in Cayucos, eating fine, hiking their ranch, and visiting the elephant seals.

The ranch walk at Rancho Azul in Korlandia begins at the Meyer lemons.

passionfruit-dressed greens the following night.)
