I love the ocean, even if it's a chilly one. I love lazing around on the hot sand with cool inland breezes washing over me. Today was a beach day. We drove over to San Gregorio, explored the cliffs and caves, dipped our toes and feet into chilly waters and basked in the radiant and glorious sunshine! %PHOTO{"http://denovich.org/gallery/roadtrip/P7110143"}% %PHOTO{"http://denovich.org/gallery/roadtrip/P7110115"}% We also hit Pebble Beach, no not that one, the one with the beach made up of actual pebbles. Odd rock formations with pockets of pebbles that get exposed as the water erodes them open. It was difficult to walk on as our feet sank up to our ankles in pebbles. %PHOTO{"http://denovich.org/gallery/roadtrip/P7110181"}% There were large signs proclaiming, 'do not take the pebbles!' Of course with such a sign and proclamation goading me on, I had to take a pebble, or two. *sheepish grin* I know, not very environmentally sound of me to do, I know, if every one who visited that beach took just one pebble... I know, I know... but the temptation was too great. And I have my pebble, or two.
