Saturday morning, June 18, we repeated tradition and headed to the pancake house
which still looked the same as
last time . DanSyl
read the menu as I
got ready to order from Kathleen (aged 14) and her sister (almost 21)
who brought me decaf
and syrups
as Dansyl
were waiting for my banana pancakes
and their shared omelette
and pecan pancakes
before we headed past the cockteleria
and back to the car for further journeys. We went to the beach at the cove
in La Jolla and parked the car
before meeting these people
who gave me a pamphlet and this booth
where this gentleman
wished to sell us shirts. We walked along the beach to where a
wedding party was posing
and then left Sylvia
on a bench as we walked on and admired this gentleman
who seemed to be having a perfect beach day as the life guards
had moved on and the info booth
told us to be careful of the power of the surf
even as we returned to Sylvia on her cell phone
and I took this self portrait
after which Dan took a picture of mother and son
before we met this lady
who sold us environmentally correct T shirts.
After a rest and a movie, we went to Papachino's
where after a few missed pictures
I finally got it right
just in time for the bread
which was a prelude to our pizza
and Dan's pasta
all of which made me look better
as we got ready to leave the restaurant to see the balloons
mixed with palm trees and about to descend
as day was done.
