Jun 27, 2010 - We parked my RV at Marina Dunes RV Park in Marina, CA, and decided to take advantage of the Marina Dunes park just across the street before we headed out for the day. The wind was blowing hard (as usual!), while we walked in the sand, on the beach. I like this photo of a couple on the beach, dwarfed by the incoming waves, who were determined to spend their day lounging at the beach, despite the conditions. As Birdie and I wander around, bundled up in our long johns and coats, trying to stay warm, we are continually amazed at all the people in t-shirts and shorts (though some are definitely shivering). I figure, if I stayed here long enough, maybe I would get acclimated to the humidity and it would seem like summer to me, too! But not so far.
We drove down to Garrapata Beach, and lucked out again, as the sun was shining. It was incredibly beautiful. There was a line of clouds not far away that kept threatening to turn our beautiful day cool and foggy, but it stayed away while we were there. We walked far enough on one of the trails to be surprised by a waterfall that I didn't know was there. Birdie loved all the different kinds of flowers as I thought she would.
We spent some time on Asilomar Beach. I had intended to do some tidepooling there, and there were some tidepools, but they had no creatures in them. I don't know whether I picked the wrong spot, or the wrong time of day (at least I knew enough to go at low tide), or the wrong time of year, or what. We ended up just sitting on the beach, in the sun, in the white sand, watching the surf, enjoying the warmth and beauty of the day.
Once again we went to Fisherman’s Wharf for dinner. Birdie chose a restaurant with a great view of the beautiful harbor, and we watched the sea lions and otters swimming in the harbor while we ate.
