Beach Day

- Sunset at Vicente Point, California
Today was a beach day. Clear skies, 60 degrees, sun hiding behind the clouds…
Too cold to go swimming but that didn’t stop the surfers from taking to the water. We saw them first at Redondo Beach, with waves crashing in like thunder, reminiscent of a bowling alley.
We were joined today by Cathi’s cousin Ryan, who moved from Michigan to Whittier (near L.A.) thirty years ago. It has been a great reunion for them this week.
From Redondo Beach we followed Palos Verdes Drive south to various lookouts. Beautiful rocky cliffs and crashing waves.
Aquarium of the Pacific was next on our list. Sea Lions, Sea Otters, Clown Fish, Jelly Fish, Leafy Sea Dragons, StingRays, and lots of other colorful creatures.
On such a cloudy day, we jumped for joy when the sun finally made an appearance – in time for a beautiful sunset. We drove from Long Beach back to a great viewing point from earlier in the day, Point Vicente in Palos Verde. (see pic above)
While Cathi gets to keep in contact with her man Ken throughout the trip, Cathy’s doggie boy is afraid of phones, so updates have been sent by Uncle Lee. Today’s updated included news of Dirt playing in the snow, getting a W-A-L-K, and being such a good doggie he gets to sleep in the bedroom. Yeah!

He’s been a very good do.
I am glad the trip is going so well, and that you two are able to reunite with family and friends. That’s always a plus!
