Out to the beach!

Today Don and Karen took me out to see some of the local beach communities, and we hit Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.



These beaches were a lot closer to what we have back in South East Queensland - even had quite a lot of people out on the pier fishing for their dinner!

Don had some fun looking through Stand Up Paddleboarding shops, and it looks like tomorrow he's going to hire a board and we'll all head down to Dana Point where he can get back in the water and show me how it is done. He also has some inflatable kayaks so I may jump in one of those and have some fun.

After that we had some food at one of Don and Karen's old haunts, a place called Pizza D'Oro. It was really nice to go to a small, privately owned place after seeing all the chain / franchise food outlets they have here. Great quality food for reasonable prices.

We finished up the day heading over to a Wholefoods store to get a few things for Easter - these places are about as big as your average supermarket, but dedicated to more wholesome food (although looking through the ingredients they do sneak a few less than desirable products in amongst the healthy ones)

All in all a great day out - thanks Don and Karen!!
