I do have more Viva Las Vegas style snaps to show you, but I'll wait until next Sunday because I feel like this moment on the beach at Dana Point makes a nice coda to all the vacation pics I've been showing you the past few days. What a great little sundress for a seaside afternoon.
The final few images from my brief vacation in California last month. As promised, more surfers. In the last shot, the young woman has a happy grin on her face because she was obviously a beginner surfer (the board is a dead giveaway) and let out an audible "woo hoo!" as she managed to ride the wave all the way in without wiping out. Good for her! I imagine this is a pretty tough sport to master.
For the last two posts about my trip I'll just share some of the many surfers I saw. It wasn't really that warm out and the waves weren't very awesome, but surfers are going surf no matter what. I love watching them do their thing.
I got to hang out on the beach at Dana Point for a couple of hours during my visit to San Clemente last month. Here are a few random images.
April was a busy month for me. Only three days after returning from Las Vegas, Nevada, I was airborne again, bound for San Clemente, California. You may recall that Pat and I visited San Clemente in February. This time I went solo, to visit the same friends. I had a little beach time during my stay, plus a day of just driving around by myself while my friends were otherwise occupied.
Above, here's something so very California that I had to share it even though the shot's a little blurry: a foot powered "taxi" filled with giggling girls as a guy walks past with a surfboard balanced on his head! Below, a practical solution to the $6+ per gallon gas prices in Orange County: a cool vintage scooter. I'm sure it rarely needs a top up.
Just a few more fun and groovy details spied at the car show at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend last month! I definitely had to get a shot of the tiny pink Edsel that lives on the dashboard of the real thing (see THIS post; based on the "license plate" in the photo above and the badge in the photo below, it's a rare '58 Edsel Bermuda, in case you were curious). I hope you enjoyed all cool cars and creative details! Tomorrow I'll move on to images from my California trip.
A few bombshells spotted at the Viva Las Vegas car show last month. I think the I Dream of Jeannie gal and Big Boy would make a great pair, don't you?
