It took three hours to drive to San Luis Obispo--over high mountain passes, which was a little scary--but it was well worth it. The park by the ocean there was, along with the Grand Canyon, one of the most magnificent I've ever visited. Walked a bit more than four miles along a cliff-side path, always in sight of the Pacific. Flocks of pelicans flew over periodically:
After, it was off to the elephant seal rookery, seven miles away. What a sight--they're both cunningly cute and horribly disgusting, in my estimation:
Stayed overnight in a beautifully appointed Airbnb in Los Osos before visiting the above sites, then drove to Ojai. Took about a mile or so walk, then went to Ellen's and Greg's for dinner. It was delish--Greg had made terrific appetizers, followed by specially prepared chicken, potatoes, and greens. Stayed until late (for me) and didn't get home until almost ten.
To turn back the clock a bit, went for a stroll and a tour of the maritime museum on Monday. Here I am, looking sappy:
Today, it's off to Santa Barbara and Carolyn's to meet up with my cousin, Sally, and her son, Duane. Haven't seen Sal for either twenty-five or sixty or so years--more about that later.
