Ocean Palms Motel Pismo Beach

... I had with me were my sunglasses. <br> Once back, I loaded up the cameras and headed to the bay to try and capture the sunset. I also was hoping to meet up with a friend and fellow photographer who had text me that she also was in Morro. We did run into each other as we filmed the sunset and had a great chat. The lighting was all pinks and mauves. But night is here and the temperature has dropped. It will be a popcorn and movie night.

... in as we arrived, so we parked and walked out to the rock. I ventured farther, over the rocks and out to the beach below the sea break. When I first started coming here, you could walk out on the sea break, but then someone was washed out to sea with a wave, so now the break is closed. But the tide was coming in, and there were magnificent wave crashes that towered over the break and cascaded down the side. As usual, my ...

... we went through Monterey and the 17 mile drive and stopped in at carmel for lunch. when we come back we will have a week just to really see these places. so onto san Lius Obispo but the road was so windy(but spectacular) we didn't quite make it. hence our stop in Cayucos. it is just about 1/2 way between San Fran and LA and very beautiful. the weather is really warm, high 20's with very low humidity. so ...

We had a brilliant night in our tent. It was the perfect climate, and the perfect surroundings. <br><br>We did not visit the Cracked Crab for lunch after all. I did not think it was reasonable to have such a large, pricey meal for lunch! I did however get the best clam chowder from Splash's Cafe! I have had too many clam chowders since we arrived on the coast at San Francisco, and this was by far the best!!!!<br>

... d catered to my craving for lunch, I&#8217;d decided that we should cater to Azrael for dinner! Unfortunately, we weren&#8217;t entirely impressed with their menu, and our meals left us stuffed but wanting!!! All was not lost though.... they totally redeemed themselves with dessert! Azrael had a fantastic Tiramisu and I had a &#8220;give-me-more&#8221; Nutella panna cotta! Oh my god..... the desserts were out of this world!!!! I believe this might have been the first time in the ...

... the fish market! I bought 2 Dungeness crab portions, i.e. the whole crab for $7.19!!! I got those cracked, and we accompanied them with ½ dozen oysters on the half shell, for just $7.50 and some garlic fries. Unfortunately, as they were such &#8220;takeaway food&#8221;, I forgot to take photos!! AAARRRGGGHH!!! The oysters were FAB, but the crab could&#8217;ve definitely done with some kind of seasoning. This was rectified with some lemon! PERFECT!!!

... realise was that Morro Bay is also a fishing town..... which can only mean one thing.... CRAB!!!! I went in search of crab, leading us to Embarcadero, which is on the waterfront, and seemed to be the main strip of the town. Having surveyed the few restaurants, none of them were offering crab the way I wanted it, so we ended up going to a restaurant called The Galley. <br><br>The restaurant is right on the waterfront, and would ...

... roasting marshmallows (all other places were too hot for fire)<br>I think we are all ready to go home.<br>We had perfect ending - got our clam chowder in bread bowl, sat on the bench by the ocean and had dinner. I took more sunset pictures later and the girls went swimming. Firepit was on again, glass of wine and marshmallows, Noland and I had a chance to recap our vacation, and it was a vacation once in a lifetime - everything was perfect, even foggy 4th of July fireworks.<br>

lange nichts geschrieben... was gibt's denn zu berichten? Ich habe einen 10,- Euro Schein in einer Hosentasche gefunden. Die Sonne scheint immer noch ( 4 1/2 Wochen und noch kein Regen gesehen...- eigentlich auch ziemlich wenig Wolken). Ansonsten: Samstag war ich mit PolyEscape (Das ist ein Verein der Uni, der verschiedene Freizeitaktivitäten durchfürt) surfen. Ja - SURFEN! Endlich! Wir fuhren nach Pismo Beach, einem ...

... screens that let in the cool breezes. It stayed in the 60s-low70s. Alex said this place would make a great place for an Oakley vacation. We got a comp round at the State Park driving range up the hill Thursday evening thanks to the hotel staff. The hotel is actually in the state park grounds. Tomorrow, down the PCH to Santa Barbara to stay with Steve and Beverly.
