BEACH AT SAN SIMEON
We are happy to have escaped our responsibilities for a few days to this quiet lovely place along the California coast.
We found ourselves out on the beach at 6:30 A.M. having our coffee and a freshly baked cinnamon roll we had picked up. The beach was right behind our hotel so we could walk down and not worry about having make-up or hair combed. I found myself picking up shells and jade rocks in the little coves and exploring in the tide pools until I stepped in the wrong place and got squirted right in my eye. I presumed it was a sea anemone, a flower looking thing, that squirts water .
Soon, I spotted a large friendly dog running towards me and when he got near, turned and ran the other direction. My husband Paul, tried his luck at fishing, using squid as bait. The seaweed was so thick he got all tangled up and it took him most of the time to get his line untangled.
After a time we went back to our room and cleaned up to go shopping in the quaint seaside village of Cambria. We found a outdoor restaurant where we could sit and enjoy our food and watch the whales spouting out at sea.
We had a very restful time and it seemed like we were gone a lot longer than we were. Sometimes these kind of trips are much more relaxing than big scheduled vacations.
