Day 142

La Jolla Cove

Sep 25, 2013, 7:04 PM

We had a good time today exploring La Jolla, hey it just occurred to me I should have taken my Happy Zone flag and planted it in the middle of the park and declare La Jolla now belongs to the Happy Zone, it worked for the English, the Spaniards, etc., but I didn't want to start riots. Anyway, we saw harbor seals, and crazy squirrels, and beautiful surf. The seals were so funny to watch. They were laying on rocks right beneath a walk way so we were able to see them well. They were laying out, I think trying to capture some sun although that was coming and going, as the waves would splash up on them they would arch their backs so that their heads and tails were out of the water. They were really cool. These guys were very quiet too, not like the sea lions that were constantly barking and making lots of noise. As we we're walking along the sidewalk that wound through a little park along the shoreline, Steve saw a sign saying "Don't Feed The Squirrels". Up to this point we hadn't seen any squirrels. Don't you know we didn't go another five steps and Steve saw two adorable squirrels. They were sitting up on their haunches like they thought they were prairie dogs or meerkats. Just too cute to believe. 

Now I don't know if everyone else has noticed this or not, but our GPS has a distinct speech pattern. I think she learned to read with the Hooked on Phonics method. She has been making us laugh so often today she had us rolling. We were going to La Jolla, well that was pronounced Lane Joy-la. I think she got the lane from the La. Then we went to a Chinese restaurant, that was pronounced rest-Ur-rent, and Walmart is wall-mert. This is a constant source of entertainment while we are driving around. 

It was a perfect day!! Tomorrow we may drive into the desert, we haven't decided. Good night to you all.
