Day 14 - Birding and Biking


Well, we had a nice leisurely morning, drinking coffee, catching up on email, and talking.
Lou did go for a bike ride after lunch. Started north of Oceanside in the middle of Camp Pendleton and rode north to San Clemente. It was a decent ride, but S.C. was a bit of a letdown. The roads were real steep to get down to the pier and there isn't really much there. Had a small snack from a convenience store and then climbed back up. The major part of the route was pretty flat between I-5 and the ocean. I arrived in San Clemente about the time school was getting out and there were lots of kids carrying surfboards to the beaches. I saw several riding skateboards with their surfboards under their arms. One was even talking on his cell phone at the same time!

Lyn, Bob, and Ilona went out together and did some hiking and birding in some of the nearby natural areas. Their highlight was a baby Anna's hummingbird! They also did the shopping for dinner and for Bob and Ilona's trip home.

We grilled burgers for dinner and had a nice evening chatting and watching the Horse Whisperer movie.
