Corona del Mar
I may make fun of L.A., but I did have fun there. I love roaming around on my own, discovering places through chance. You can’t do that in Southern Thailand and parts of Malaysia (– too many Islamic terrorists kidnapping civilians, including Australians.) People in the United States may think Islamic terrorism is not real (an unreality trip courtesy of Michael Moore and Democratic propaganda), but well, I trust that my relatives know more about what goes on in Asia than Mr. Moore. After all, they do live there. And I am thankful that here in the States anyway, no one feels the need to warn me not to travel as a woman alone because I might get kidnapped by people trying to make a political statement.
The picture below is Inspiration Point on Corona del Mar.
You can barely see him, but there was a very sad-looking guy sitting on a bench at Inspiration Point. I think he was hoping to be inspired.
Down in the tidepools, there was a wedding party creating photo album memories as the waves foamed up around their feet.
I went there for one reason only though. To watch ships.
There was one particularly gorgeous ketch with parchment colored sails.

(next to where sad-looking guy was sitting)It’s a lot easier to take pictures of the sailboats when you’re actually out on the jetty.

The above picture was an attempt to capture the beauty of this really beautiful ketch. Unfortunately, you can’t really see it in this shot, but as it sailed by, the remarkably well-varnished teak trim shone a nice golden colour in the sunlight.
Gorgeous little boat! ‘Made me drool.
