Today we had an amazing lecture on youth movements that was quite inspiring. It's so amazing what people can do when they put their minds to it.
In the afternoon we went back out to Swanton Berry Farms and I forgot to grab my money! I don't really need another t-shirt, but I sure would have loved another Mexican hot chocolate and a few chocolate dipped strawberries! Ah well, the dessert we had just about made up for the lack of hot chocolate out on those wind-whipped fields. We had a gigantic strawberry shortcake and 5 pies with whipped cream. I had strawberry rhubarb and since I got the last slice in the pan I got all the drippings that fell out of the other pieces. And the best part? I got to take home what I couldn't eat to have for breakfast tomorrow.
Since I didn't get my t shirt this time around, it just means that I have to come back here at some point. A little trip to San Francisco with a quick jaunt down the coast to Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Carmel? I think that's do-able. I didn't know this the last time I was at the farm, but everything in the store is on the honor system - the u-pick berries, the coffee and hot chocolate, jams, baked goods, etc. The feeling that sort of trust in the average person inspires is so wonderful.
