We arrive at Carlsbad State Beach Park and our campsite is
right next to our Friday Harbor whale watch buddies, Pete and Nancy! They are Camp Hosts here for three months
this season.
 |
| Our "inland" site...$33 a night for old folks rate |
 |
| High rent district site...empty...leaves us a nice view! |
This is our last U.S. stop before heading across the
border. There are still a few more
details to take care of…does it ever end?
(Yes, when you cross the border! ) Upon our arrival I look out to sea
and notice the dark black clouds. Is
that rain I feel? Ohhhh, yes. Lots and lots of rain pounds on the RV roof
all night and into the next day.
Nancy has located a ukulele jam session the night we arrive
at a pizza restaurant down the road, so Steve, Nancy and Nan head on over there
at 6 p.m. There are at least 100 folks,
playing and singing away! This turns
into a practice uke jam for us. We got
to the place, brought our instruments, had some pizza…but…music was
missing. We learn that you can download
music lists off their website “Moonlight Beach Ukelele Strummers” and then it’s
there on your iPad right in front of you!
We looked over shoulders.

| Pete and Nance strum away |
 |
| Steve in his element! |
The good news is that Thursday night there is ALSO a uke
jam, even closer in Carlsbad. We make a
plan and go. This set up is perfect as
we eat dinner first, ukes in hand arrive and the music and words are projected
up on a big screen above the bar. It’s a
great evening!
 |
| Happy Hour lives on... |
 |
| Frio! In California!? |
 |
| But it's a warm fire! |
We really should leave Friday, but we are at least one
campfire behind, and the roads may be wet with the recent heavy rain. What’s one more day? The ocean calms down some, the sun comes out,
there is still no one in the waterfront site in front of us…so, an inland price
and location but an oceanfront view! I
fear I’m getting used to this….tomorrow it’s across the border we go.
 |
| One more stop at our favorite coffee shop.... |
 |
| See why they're called "Bird of Paradise"??? |
