Exploring LA

We spent the morning with Sandy exploring the Dana Point area, from the harbor, to the tidal pools and beach and ended up at an arts festival. Bill had to catch a flight to Dallas for business so he couldn’t join us. You can tell they love this area from their enthusiasm. The ocean and So Cal life style are so different than anywhere else that we have been and it’s almost like a fairy tale. There are a lot of people in this area. After lunch at the festival, it was time to move on. We really didn’t have much time with the Rinchiks so hopefully that can be fixed the next time we meet again.

Off the Newport beach. Apparently, there are some popular TV shows set in Newport so Elizabeth had to have photos of the area. We explored the pier and old downtown very briefly and while E cruised the beach in search of eye candy, Jon surfed and had a blast. Final drive was to LA, only 50 miles north. Problem is, with traffic, that took 2 and a bit hours. Did I say there are a lot of people in LA? I don’t know how someone can be productive spending so much time traveling to and from work.

We got to the hotel and were exhausted and hot so we simply had dinner and flopped to bed. I used the time to catalogue photos and update the photo page. That, and the blogging, actually takes much more time that I expected. I have a new respect for those who earn their living posting blogs.

tomorrow, explore LA
