Our first Friday in Clairemont




This mosaic is on the side of the newly rebuilt rest and changing rooms
close to lifeguard station 33 at La Jolla Shores.


Watch out for those rays that bury themselves in the sand under the water.  Step on
one and you will get stung.  They are hiding waiting for prey to swim past.



The firefighters from a nearby fire house frequently come to run or walk on 
the beach.

We first saw this truck last summer.  A tall handsome young man was beside the 
truck getting ready to leave.  I could not resist talking to him and discovered that his father
had immigrated to the U.S. from Germany when the young man was a small boy.
A very distant cousin.


We have seen this beautiful old woodie in years past but we are always delighted
to see it again. Wikipedia says that the last car made was in 1950, but that
others have been manufactured using metal that looks like wood in later years.
I announced to the Professor that the next time we see this one parked at the beach, we
are going to check to see if it wood.



Last summer this house was only smooth concrete walls on the sides.  If you look closely
you can see the plants growing over the retaining wall.  Neither of us can remember
what this house was like before the rebuilding began.  There is a second house a little 
south of this one, much smaller.  I didn't take a picture.  It looks as if it might only be getting
exterior work.
