Sunday began with my bags assembled
as we drove off to San Clemente and the Shore House Face
where we had eaten before with a slightly different crowd . Dan settled in with light behind him
as Syl settled
and Larry
seemed to amuse the waiter who eventually became part of the family
as I admired the neon
and then took this self portrait
as Janet
and Paige
arrived bearing a gift from Libya
which looked a lot better sans flash
as I admired the shared minestrone
and Larry's milkshake
as Paige and I shared a large salad
and Janet and Syl shared this sandwich
to go with Larry's nachos
and my half of the veggie burger (also shared with Paige)
which led to another round of pictures of Syl
Dan
Paige
Janet
and then these group family photos taken with the waiter who seemed to want to be one of us
as Paige danced
and the owner (I think)
and waitress were amused
because perhaps they knew that I was about to get this collection sign
and that Paige was going to contribute this collection sign
before I departed with a stop at Larry and Janet's house
to see their countertops
and the prices of gas there
before Larry dropped me off at the Hotel Westin Bonaventure where I had a 2 room suite with this bed room
this sitting room
and this bathroom
