Today, on the 17th December 2025, I had to go to Atherton, CA to see a Stanford long COVID specialist. Luckily, this is the week one of my medications is still in effect, so I have a bit more energy. After the doctors appointment, my mom and I decided go to State Route 1 for some fun. We went to San Gregorio State Beach in San Gregorio, CA and El Granada, CA. At the end of this blog post, I also included some photos of the 2 restaurants I ate at. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Next up are some of the bonus photos from the restaurants I ate at on my trip.
My mom and I got up at 6 AM in the morning so I can be on time for my doctors appointment with the Stanford long COVID specialist in Atherton, CA. I didn't eat breakfast before I left. I normally don't get up until past 9 AM, but unfortunately my appointment is at 9 AM. I would have scheduled a later appointment, but unfortunately the next available one was in April, and if you have been following me, you know how long COVID is wrecking havoc on my life. After the appointment, my mom and I went to Mexcal Taqueria (3215 Middlefield Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025) for brunch. The food was spicy and awesome!

For dinner, I went back to my usual place in Half Moon Bay, CA to order take out, Monsoon Himalayan Cuisine (20 Stone Pine Rd STE B, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019). I love the vegetarian options at this place, and they have plenty! Nothing better than South Asian vegetarian cuisine.
