Day on the Coast 12-9

Yesterday we got wild and crazy. We got up, saw on the internet that it would be the last rain-free day for at least a week and we skipped exercise and went to the coast! It was foggy and cold here at home, never reached 40 and on the coast it was cloudy but at least 15 degrees warmer. We are only an hour and a half away and a pretty drive. It was high tide and the waves were very large. Not much beach walking was done as there was no beach in most places. After awhile an offshore wind came up and was blowing against the waves, it made them look very interesting. We had lunch at a harbor restaurant that had entertainment. We got to watch the harbor seals fight for a place on the docks. I had the best fish and chips I think I have ever had. It was cooked in Canola oil and they were very light, Larry had a sandwich and clam chowder. The waiter was like a used car salesman with the dessert, but we resisted. Then we walked the harbor and then drove out to one more beach. Then it was a stop at Starbucks and head back home. We stopped for a visit with Seth on the way home. It was still cold and foggy! Rained last night and it warmed up. It felt positively balmy today! Seth is spending the evening and night with us, so this has taken several hours to get pieced together!
