Started off today leaving San Diego for Orange County. Got the oil changed today as well as a brand new air filter. Maybe we will get better gas mileage, woo hoo.
We've been in Newport Beach all day practically, a nice spot where a lot of people seem to hang out for a day at the beach. It is March 14th and was only 65 degrees out today, but there are still people in bathing suits tanning out on the beach. Not something you see everywhere. I'm just now starting to notice that it is a bit more laid back out here than back east.
So Dan and I are sitting on a bench near the beach with our "Yucca" Hiking Stick pitched up in the sand, when a couple about our age stops and tells us nice stick. They also had a hiking stick with them. I told them we got it from inside of the Grand Canyon (which we did of course) and immediately a conversation was started. Dean and Ponti (who had moved here from Iran years ago) were two very sociable and friendly people. They invited us along with them on their walk and we all went back to Ponti and her roommates place for a delicious dinner. Persian hospitality is incredible!
At the moment we are in a parking lot, awaiting to be picked up by our high school friend, Ashley, and then heading out to a bar for food and drinks. That is all for now, we'll see what happens next. Tomorrow we will be heading not so far north up to L.A..
