Ushi.& Dieter are staying at Desert Hot Springs for 5 months over winter. They said they might join us on the coast but we really didn't know what we were doing til we got here. However, they are golfing with friends and staying just north of us in Carlsbad today - so will come down and join us for early dinner.
Ted and I go off to investigate the local market store and are walking down the main highway, and suddenly somebody is walking towards us and it;s Ushi! Small world. They came down early and decided to enjoy the beach. We all go back to the camsite and enjoy walks and sitting on the beach in the sun.
We then wend down to the Chart House, a gorgeous resto overlooking the crushing waves for their excellent happy hour drinks and food for a song compared to regular prices. We take photos of the lovely sunset and they set off back to the desert, a 2 hour drive normally.
Next day, we really do investigate the Seaside Market Cardiff store across the road from our campsite. They have Mondavi Opus1 wine for sale for $420 a bottle, and all sorts of caviar...clearly there are a few well-heeled burgers around this area...
We do our grocery stockup and buy gas, try to find wifi and finally get it in the little local fish place where we have great scallop, dorado and Oprah tacos and a huge bowl of fish stew with a bit too much chili for my liking, but hearty all the same.
Another lovely and last sunset over the Pacific but very cold and windy. I've lost my book from my download again, so satisfy myself with my real book, 'Yiddish for Pirates" which is a total hoot and very funny, to keep me vaguely awake til 10pm.
