Awake: 6:49am Temp 46 sleep 6+51 sunny overnight @ San Diego, CA.
Sallie called mid morning. She said Larry was golfing with Bill & other guys & asked if we were walking today? "Yes," I told her; "how about we pick you up within (15-20) min & we'll tour La Jolla by the sea."
We still have boxes of National Geographic Magazines from Seattle in the backseat of our car, so we hauled a few boxes out & stored them temporarily in our motorhome, making room for Sallie.
La Jolla is a mere (6) miles north of Mission Bay. After parking the Suzuki, we walked thru the main part of town to the La Jolla Cove, overlooking the ocean with its waves crashing onto the rocks below. Along the boardwalk, we saw people galore, lots of birds, & lazy seals, young & old, sunbathing on the sand & rocks. What a sight to behold!
Now, how did those lazy Seals get onto the rocks?
The experts report that Pelicans can carry as much as 25 pounds of fish in their beaks.
No, the Seals are not dead, they are working on their tans.
High tide is not always a good thing....these canoes & boats stuck together & you see where they ended up?
On our route back to the car, we watched a fellow, honing his rock climbing skills on the man-built rock ocean wall. The line you see is not a rope, it's a shadow from a palm tree.
Back in town, we visited Warwick's books, gifts, stationery & office supply; a favorite book store of Sallie & Larry's. We were merely looking. Sallie got in touch via cell phone with Larry & we all agreed to have dinner @ the World Famous restaurant @ Pacific Beach.
For all you people who have pet dogs, here is a serious message!
From here, we drove down the La Jolla Blvd, a very pleasant & somewhat scenic hwy by the sea, & parked the Suzuki near the World Famous restaurant.
Sallie & Kathy selected a favorite table with a picturesque view overlooking the Pacific Ocean & the beach; many runners, bikers, walkers, dogs, etc, on the boardwalk added to our entertainment.
Larry & Bill, & later, Bill's wife, Kay, joined us for dinner & oohing & aahing over the BIG SUN sinking into the BIG PACIFIC OCEAN; quite a sight!
K & I shared a yellow fin Ahi tuna Caesar salad, which we had had before & really enjoyed.
Good thing we cleared a seating space earlier for Sallie in our car since Larry rode with Bill in his car to the restaurant & Bill left before we did. Now with Larry & Sallie reliving their teenage days, (she sat on his lap & there were lots of giggles & "stop its"), we were able to drive them back to their campsite.
Late evening movie; we finished watching: "The Americanization of Emily" with James Garner, Julie Andrews, Melvyn Douglas, James Coburn, Joyce Grenfell, etc. Garner is fall guy for U.S. admiral's master plan to have American naval officer first Normandy invasion victim, with predictable results. Cynical Garner-Andrews romance blends well with realistic view of life among U.S. military brass.1964. Most interesting with some real battle scenes from WWII.
Lights out: 12:22am.
