Tres chic.

July 15, Fort Bragg.

Fort Bragg, another northern California coastal town, turned out to be nothing like Eureka and its cozily gentrified downtown, the epitomy of cute, "historic" buildings and shabby chic storefronts, tres Greenwich Village, California style, very university towns everywhere, like Athens, Georgia, in the early nineties at the height of the REM craze (nothing personal, used to live there.) The sea is rough here, and there isn't much of a downtown but for a block of old buildings on the main street that runs through it. It is deliciously cool and breezy.
