last day in paradise

OUR FINAL DINNER AT AN AUTHENTIC LITTLE ITALIAN RESTAURANT

DINNER x2

THE BEACH BELOW OUR CONDO

well, the last day of our stay in Encinitas was spent lounging on the deck, reading and walking the beach....we finished off the evening with an incredible Italian dinner in a little restaurant downtown. Tiny and Awesome! The morning was sunny again and worked out great for the guys who did a phenominal job packing the truck. Sue and I were threatened with being lashed to the roofracks if we shopped any more. I don't know what they were talking about...we actually had at least 6 inches to the roof in the middle of the back! It started raining about 20 minutes after we left and rained all the way to our first stop. We decided to vere from the highway 5 to 99 where we stopped in Fresno, California. Not as far as we had hoped on our first day but it took longer on the road through Los Angeles than we figured. Don't know where we'll end up tomorrow. We will find somewhere nice as it is Sue's birthday and we want to celebrate. We just got back to the hotel from dinner at another wonderful Italian restaurant here in Fresno. It is still raining. I guess we are getting ready for the wet homecoming we are expecting.... oh, and we did manage to go to the mall and introduce Sue to Marshall's. Will be back tomorrow from some far away place along the road.....until we chat again
