  I don't know if anyone has followed my trips but I took a break from the winter here in Ann Arbor and took the train out to Oceanside, California.  It was a great trip and I loved the train.   I went to three new piers in the LA area and visited some I had been to about 25 years ago about the time of these travel narratives.  This trip is another story so now to return to 1980. 
  When I left my spot for the night the fog was really heavy and I only ventured on because there was so little traffic and I could go slowly.  As I wound in and out along the coastline I was going up in elevation and all of a sudden I broke out into the daylight-the sun was shining and I could see for miles out to sea.  I stopped and got out and saw the dense fog I had been driving in was now a cloud below me.  This is shown in today's photograph.
  I stopped above San Simeon and started a painting of the shore rocks and cormorants, but was didn't finish because the tide was going out too fast.  So I continued on to Morro Bay, getting there about one o'clock and after parking downtown I walked along the embarcadero.  I had my first coffee and donut in a while at Anna's Bakery-67 cents, what a deal.
  then I got back on the road and headed for my spot of a few nights ago by the Port San Luis Bay harbor.  I went to the Old Customs House Cafe and it looks like I had three beers for $1.50  this  put my average expenses  to $10.40 and I had $15.14 left, but I had filled my gas tank and plenty of gas to finish the rest of this leg of the trip.
  Just to mention it again examples of my artwork and photos can be seen at my website http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartusa/ and also at http://artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=42727  which loads much faster and has closeups and prints available of the photos.
