...to Huntington

West of Palm Springs there were well over 1,000 of these windmills.  I guess when you cannot count on water, wind is the next best thing.

Huntington Beach!

It is amazing to get within 60 miles of Los Angles and realize that from that point on you are in solid suburbia until you reach the ocean!  The traffic and the subdivisions are amazing.  Thank goodness we had the GPS to navigate us through the constant number of on-off ramps that lead to other freeways.

We arrived at Huntington a little after dark and had supper at Oceanside by the pier (where Chay and I spent many a day attempting to learn to surf!).  It was great to be back.  The moon was shining and we headed to our usual spot to park for the night.

The next day we headed to our same spot as last year.  For $15 we got a triple wide parking spot right on the beach—plenty of room to spread out with chairs, surf board, scooter and bike!!

The weather here has been wonderful with day time highs ranging from 70 to 80 degrees.  We love either sitting on the lawn chairs by Rita or going down on the sandy beach and watching the surfers do their thing.   Every day I make another effort at this most frustrating of sports, but progess is slow and limited, but I am now pretty good at surfing—belly down on the board!!!!!!!
