We wanted to get out of SF for couple weeks, find a quiet place to write some software. I guess it's the modern day equivalent of working on your novel in a cabin in the woods. Philip's place is great for this. In the morning, we go for a swim at the beach just mins away. We bike to the food trucks for lunch. Dinner is always at a bakery that sells burger and BBQ chicken just opposite the street. We always see a pet pig there waiting for people to drop some rice. We made friends with that pet pig. Anyways, this North Shore experience is more quiet and rural than I expected. It's good for you.
