The weather is supposed to take a turn for cooler so we are taking every opportunity to get out in the sun to enjoy it. Today, we walked along Pacific Beach which is about 2 miles from our RV. Can we ever get enough of the ocean? Nope. We lived on the east coast for about 18 years, always close to the ocean and we enjoyed it often. We have now lived in Minnesota and Iowa since 1985 and we miss the water. Staying in San Diego for a month each year is how we get our OCEAN FIX in.
There are just so many beaches and parks and walkways that it’s easy to do this. Pacific Beach has a variety of beach venues. There is a midway with rides that I can only watch,
there are volleyball games,
birds wading the shore (why does he have his beak 2” in the sand?
surfers,
small groups trying to make a buck or at least enough to pay their way home
and sailboarders
Pacific Beach has it all. It’s a lot of fun. However, it also has its dark side. Many of the homes which line the beach are rentals and we’ve seen 20 - 30 people hanging off the balcony with beers in their hand in a single rental unit. Imagine living next to one of these. There are loads of bars and they are open til the wee hours. Many of the owners of homes in the area who actually live in these homes complain of activities of the many drunks who leave the bars and they are petitioning to have the bars close earlier.
However, to say that we enjoyed our walk is an understatement. We could do this every day.
