Supper near Sea Lions

Saturday morning we went to get our flu shots at the pharmacy of the local Safeway grocery store. Ed watched football most of the afternoon. We took a drive and tried to go on a trail that supposedly went to the beach north of Crescent City. The road with the loop we wanted to drive had a locked gate -- bummer.

We started considering what to have for supper and began stopping at various restaurants to get their menus. We talked to a couple from The Netherlands, Annegreet and Peter, and gave them a lift to the restaurant by the floating docks where the sea lions hang out.

Annegreet was as excited as I was about the sea lions and they did give a good show.

The Duet

It's a tough life!

Ed and I disagree on this one...

Don't you think the little fellow below has facial expression?

Oh, geez, will they ever finish with the photo shoot?

Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day!

At one point, they stopped barking and all activity ceased. Ed and I walked out on the dock with a ramp and as we got closer, a big bull came swimming up and literally jumped out of the water onto the dock. We got a few pictures and learned when we got back to shore that you must stay 100 feet away and if you get closer you could get a $10,000.00 fine!

We ended up having dinner with Angreet and Peter. Annegreet is a journalist and Peter is a retired economist. We had a lovely time with them and talked about all sorts of things regarding the USA and The Netherlands and about life in general.
