Happenings in Laguna Beach

For starters there were many opportunities to exercise my ankle -- Karen and Steve live at the top of the canyon

Street near their house

From downtown
with daily opportunities for watching fantastic sunsets over the Pacific.















We stayed in a hotel on PCH  (Pacific Coast Highway), so it was quite a hike up the hill to their house.  However, the city has a great bus service, winding up and down through the neighborhoods, so much walking was spared.

We did walk on the beach

and downtown when we visited a special pottery exhibition in the Art Museum.















One of many opportunities to try my new camera ....

A unique activity occurred with not one but two sewerage backups in the garage -- necessitating dismantling storage, discarding stuff, and shuttling to Goodwill.




























eventually the plumber discovered the root cause (literally) and now a "dig alert" is in process before a permanent solution is put in place next week.

More  importantly, there was much good food and drink

Sampling the champagne bought at the vineyard by Mary & Mark's house.

Steve cooks yummy breakfast burritos

Jack attacks the "Henry VIII" portion of prime rib at the Five Crowns  restaurant















We're sad to leave ... but all good holidays must come to an end
