May 12th – We slept in a little and then had a healthy breakfast of European style whole milk yogurt from Trader Joe’s and a couple of eggs and a slice of toasted Beckman’s sour dough bread that we got at the farmers’ market in San Jose on Sunday morning.\u00a0 That yogurt is really good – my son Brian introduced me to it.\u00a0 As soon as we could justify being hungry again we took a walk on the beach and then walked the half-mile or so to the Old West Cinnamon Buns store where, because of me, we each ordered our own as opposed to what we did last time – we split one.\u00a0 I also ordered the full boat of nuts, raisins and cream cheese frosting.\u00a0 I recall the roll being warm and soft last time but this time it was cold and harder than it should have been.\u00a0 It was not very busy so I am guessing the best time to come would be when it is busy.\u00a0 Last time – our first time – was on Memorial Day weekend last year and it was very busy – and much better.\u00a0 Still much better than Cinebon.\u00a0 Their coffee is good too.<\/p>\n

Next on our list is a ride on the beach in the Tracker sometimes know as “Sandy”.\u00a0 Since our coach is named “Barbie” after the Barbie-mobile of Barbie-doll fame, Carol decided that the Tracker needed a name too.\u00a0 Pretty much our first trip towing the Tracker last year brought us to Pismo Beach too and we took it out onto the sand.\u00a0 The resulting abundance of sand in all cracks and crevices caused Carol to pick the name “Sandy”.\u00a0 This year the ride was not as entertaining but much more peaceful.\u00a0 There was so much traffic on the beach last year that traffic cops were needed – this year… not so much – see the photos below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
