Nepenthe, Cafe Kevah

We had lunch on Saturday here. Breathtaking views and delicious food. We drove down Rt 1 to get there, which is a drive full of gorgeous views and includes driving across the famous Bixby Bridge (1932).

Vic was riding his Harley one day in 1973. He pulled in for gas and heard someone yell ‘hey jarhead!’ He looked around and it was Clint Eastwood! Clint asked him where he was going and did he want a riding partner. They ride down Rt 1 and stopped for lunch at Nepenthe. Clint invited him to go with him to the Hogsbreath Inn which he owned at the time for a surprise (except he knew) birthday party. The party was a star studded affair but they treated Vic like he was a celebrity.

Vic and I had a wonderful time. They let Zoe in even though dogs are not allowed and she was perfectly behaved, laid on her blanket and never made a peep.

We’ve had a magical time here in CA. The memories will stay with us for a long time. We are moving on, next stop Point Reyes.
