Time sure seems to fly when you are having fun. We have been in Pismo Beach for a whole week already and have enjoyed every minute of being here.
Our daily routine is predictable but never boring - we begin each day with a daily morning walk for me and alternate morning run for Michael. After breakfast we sit outside under the awning. He reads, and I read, crochet, or struggle with my Sudoku puzzle of the day. I am now totally hooked on this numbers game, even if I did discover it a little late. Later in the afternoon we go for another walk along the beach, and then watch the sun going down.
A couple of times, I set up my machine in the afternoon and finished a baby blanket.
There are also house chores to be seen to like laundry, and some house work, plus meals.
And so our days speed on pleasantly by.
My camera is my trusty companion, recording the things we see and do. Here are several "Pismo postcards" from this past week:
 |
| view across the dunes towards Psimo |
 |

 |
on this morning, there were dozens of plovers looking for breakfast and
were fascinating to watch as they darted away from the incoming wave
then as the wave receded, darted back out again, their tiny legs speeding along |
 |
| a close-up of these busy little birds |
 |
| a typical scene of a surfer running into the waves |
 |
fishing must have been good this morning, as humans and birds
seem to be hoping for a catch of something |
 |
along the stretch of beach just south, vehicles are allowed, and it seems that
size is not an issue as this little toddler takes a spin in her very own jeep |
 |
Rv's are a typical site here south of us, and this one was deflating
tires to make it easier to drive across the sand |
 |
| sometimes we see horseback riders here too |
 |
| walking back "home", we saw this American beauty |
 |
| followed shortly after by another California beach icon |
