I know, how else would we get there? Since there was no wifi this evening, this will be short for posting tomorrow when we have wifi.

Thought today would be a short day but it turned into 40 miles. We left Long Beach at 7:00 in a light rain that lasted until about 1:00 PM.

The rain got heavier as did the wind as we traveled through Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, but finally stopped even though the sun still did not come out.

Half the day was spent on beachside trails. The Californians don’t care if it is rainy and windy, they are out with their canopies and umbrellas staking their claim on the beach. Volleyball competitions were going on and lots of folks on the trail as well as lots of traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway.

We have stopped for the day in Capistrano Beach at a quaint 1930’s bungalow style hotel.

Tomorrow we cycle through San Clemente and Camp Pendleton with a destination of Encinatas.
