Dan and Alisha generously picked us up late Thursday night from the LA airport and drove us down to stay with them at their bungalow in Ocean Beach, California, about 10 minutes north of San Diego.
On our first day, we strolled around the surfer town of Ocean Beach, bought Claire some earrings (abalone shell - she's wearing
them in the picture) from a local jewelry shop where they were made, and drove up to La Jolla - a wealthy town on the coast with great shopping and art galleries. The pelicans were swooping close to the coast giving the kids a bit of excitement (and Claire).We then walked a bit further down the coast and visited the old children's beach - now taken over by seals - where I used to swim over 20 years ago.
In the early evening, we were back at Dan & Alisha's in Ocean Beach, and we walked down to watch the sun set and the surfers catch the last waves at twilight.
