Yesterday we went to the Wildlife Animal Park near Sonny and Sandy's house. Being a Saturday and summer it was quite crowded--and it was quite HOT!! I thought the dry heat would save me--but I was drenched everywhere. Sonny gave me a portable mister (he bought it a Wal-mart) but even then I was having a tough time. Bill took a lot of good pictures of the animals. We loved watching the lions sleeping on top of a car.
After we left the park we went to the pier for a delicious Mexican meal. It was amazing that only 15 miles away the weather was 15 degrees cooler.
Today we joined Sonny and Sandy for breakfast again and then went to church with them. They attend a huge church called North Coast. It offers a variety of venues--depending upon what type of music you like. You can have traditional (hymnal), a cafe setting where you drink coffee and eat bagels, hard rock, etc. The music portion of the service is played at the same time in all the different places..then the pastor is videoed into the room on a large screen. Today we went to the live service where the pastor actually was. We really enjoyed his preaching.
Afterwards we took a coastal route to watch paragliders as we ate our lunch. It was a gorgeous day-the breeze was just right and the weather was a perfect temperature. We then drove to a beach that was crowded with a herd of seals. The water there was crystal clear and an aquamarine blue--very unlike the drab ocean color where we live. It was fun watching the seals interract with each other.
Next Sonny drove us to the cross the sits high above the city. We walked up to it and were able to see a 360 degree panorama of the area. It was so pretty.
We came back to Sonny and Sandy's to rest and wait until the Southern California traffic dies down. If we left at 5:00 or 7:00--we would still arrive home at the same time. Good old So.Cal traffic!!
