A Walk on the Beach

Meg suggested I walk, so I thought, hey, that should be done in La Jolla. When I got there I had a hankering for a beer - unusual these days believe it or not. I walked to the top of the hill and went into Crab Catcher to grab a cold one. I decided a crab bisque was a good idea, too. (This pretty much wiped out my slush fund - ok, I don't have a slush fund - it was pure waste.) I was about to walk it off, the effects of the beer anyway, and it was before my blog announcement of self-improvement, so I plunged in guilt free. Doing things alone all the time is a new experience, but one I am getting used to.

Perfect walking fuel...for an Irishwoman, anyway.

Saw a lot of varied wildlife on the walk down the hill, across the cove and beyond Children's Beach.

Lifeguards

Pelicans

Seals, seals and more seals

Divers

Cormorants and Seagulls


The Cove


You have to be careful during a storm - can have some mighty high tides.


Proof of visit - Elizabeth! An Asian couple took it for me after I took one of them. La Jolla is a true international destination. Most conversations were in a foreign language - Asian, Eastern Europe, European, Spanish and Indian.
