A day in the country

TIME : 2016/2/27 17:26:45

A clear winter day makes Point Reyes Station and its neighbor, Olema, sparkle like faceted gems, with angular silhouettes and cool, Edward Hopper light. This month brings a bonus too: The two towns offer holiday shopping that's far more creative and individualized than what you can find at the mall―and best yet, Point Reyes National Seashore is only minutes away.
