Monday at the beach

Chili needed more beach running. We drove down to Newport and had fun. Will write more when recovered...
Mmmm, chowder.

We really are dorks, but we were at the Pacific Ocean on Monday. What did YOU do?

  1. Hey, we stopped at that restaurant and had chowder bowls when we were biking the coast. Way too much food even for cyclists. So we packed up the "bowls" on the back of the bike and rode through the afternoon. As we were setting up camp that night, we snacked on the chowder soaked, sun-baked, bacteria growing bread, and it was the best thing we had ever eaten in our entire lives! And it was then we realized how entirely gross cyclists become.
