Santa Monica II

After a cool night at Pismo Beach,  I've wandered down to Santa Monica to see Jay and Jess.

This was by way of Solvang and a short stop at the Chamas Recreational area,  then Santa Barbara for a short moment.

Then down the 101,  crossing on some Canyon to 1 South and through towns like Malibu and Malibu Adjacent.   Traffic was OK,  which means a mere 10 minutes of stop and go.   Tough on the clutch leg and the other leg too,  as cruise control ain't an option.

The weather in S/M is close to perfect.   This is moderated due to the traffic.   But is helped by the walkability of the town.   Jay and Jess live near the beach area and much is available on hoof.

We ate on Ocean Blvd.   It over looks the pier.   I had the green Chilli cheeseburger,  Jess the Chicken and Jay a fried chicken sandwich.   More fries than anyone wanted to eat and beverages of choice.

Then on the walk back, stopped at the yogurt store where it was priced based on the container size,  but not on how much you can get in the cup.   This reminds me of a joke of my father who used to say "you can always tell an engineer,  but you can't tell him much."   So we have an exercise to construct a large, solid,  tall tower.

Thank God we walked.   This is more food than the last day or two combined.

Final note,  the micro USB keyboard works just fine on the phone!
