Tidepoolin'

I'm sure you can tell at a glance that these pictures are not from England! This post is the last in a series of three about our recent trip back to California. On our last full day there, our friends, Micol and Chin (newlyweds too) took us to a magical place called Abalone Cove to play in the tidepools. You can check out the rest of our photos in 'Our Albums', but here are a few of my favorites. It was so great to play around on the rocky beach in FEBRUARY, having just left a pile of snow behind in Cambridge. We even found one abalone and refrained from poaching it. All that playing sure worked up an appetite so we hit a fabulous hole-in-the-wall Mexican place for dinner where George and I gorged ourselves with impunity. There is no better excuse to stuff your face, than knowing that we were heading back to the land of mushy peas! Thanks for a fun day, Micol and Chin...hope you get to go back soon! We are missing all our friends and family in California even more than we are missing the sunshine and Mexican food...and that is saying something.
