Heading South in California... Home?

It was nice to head South in California.

Getting warmer all the way.

We stopped in Half Moon Bay...

Ripley and I hiked a few miles up toward Pacifica Peak, found a loop back to the coast highway to make a nice 4-5 miles.

It was pretty much straight down to the beach below as you can see in the picture.

Then we headed to the beach where it was foggy and cool.
Nice after a tough hike.

And Ripley really loves to run free on the beach.

I have always wanted to stop at Gaviota Beach.
So we made a go for it.
The campground is fist-come-first-served.
And the ranger was absent when we arrived.
By the time he got back there were five cars waiting and we were first in line.

We got our choice of the two available sites.

We chose number three, set up and started a campfire.

Hanna and Theresa were second in line.
So we got together and celebrated our success in getting a site with Malibu Rum cocktails.
I did my best to set a good American example for my German visitors.

Prost!!

Hanna and I went running in the morning.

Next stop - Ramona!

This is what three weeks of mail looks like after sorting.

Bills.

Statements.

Disclosures.

Prospectuses.

Where is the fun mail?

It felt a lot like work to get through all this.

And a couple days later it was over...

Up-to-date.

And getting ready for my 30th High School Reunion

The subject of a future post perhaps...

Be well.
