Sunday Afternoon Bliss

Just back from a walk at the beach.  We wind up doing this at least once a week and sometimes 2 or 3 times.  And it never gets old.  We start at the beach at Torrey Pines.  We park in the lot that is at the end of Hwy 56 (well almost the end).  We've bought a State parking pass so there is no day to day cost.  It was a couple hundred dollars but we get our money's worth.  Plus, the parks need the money. Anyway, we start at the beach on the other side of the lot.  Head North about 3 miles and return.  So 6 miles round trip.  Not bad.  Along the way we pass cliffs, surfers, desolate stretches, lots of people at Del Mar (Powerhouse Park), a row of multi-million dollar houses, and end at dog beach, which is always fun.  It always takes two hours.  No matter what we do, how many times we stop, who we chat with along the way, it always takes two hours.  Sorta weird.

One of my favorite things is to come home on a Sunday afternoon from the walk, make a G&T, sit back with the unread paper, and watch a golf tournament with the love of my life nearby.  Ahhh...bliss.  It just doesn't get any better.  Soon the West Coast Zoo will stop by to get their dog who we've been dogsitting for the weekend while they were off at a soccer tournament.  Things will get hectic.  A good hectic.  But for now...bliss.
