Margaritas on Mondays

The final day of our stay in Santa Monica and the end of Route 66. What better way to celebrate a long lunch and margaritas at a spot overlooking Venice Beach having cruised around looking at the places in Malibu and Santa Monica.
Time with friends chatting and sharing good times.
"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The day began with a great swim in the Pacific Ocean- Jude and I strolled down to the sea before breakfast and enjoyed a plunge in the ocean- just metres away were pelicans plummeting into the ocean for their breakfast and two dolphins seeming to be drifting around and heading out to sea. On the water's edge there were sandpipers rushing back and forward with the waves- it was the perfect way to start the day and end the day which is what we, Sue, Jude and I did... a lovely swim in the ocean as the sun set. Perfect!
