Monday November 7, 2016 Capistrano Beach, CA

Our only plan for today was to drive to Crystal Cove near Newport Beach.  We had our coffee and some light breakfast and spent the morning with reading, computer activity and Sudoku.

No geocaching yesterday or today.  A day without geocaching is like, well a day without geocaching.  We did play a mid day game of Mexican Train, Neva won.

We drove to Crystal Cove via I-5, it took about 35 minutes.  we found out that the area is now a state park and requires a fee to park in the handicapped spaces near the restaurant,  Gerri dropped Neva and I off and parked in the lot across the street,  parking is $15 plus the $1.50 fee for the shuttle.

We took pictures on the beach before having our late lunch at the Beachcomber Restaurant.  We sat outside, it was cool but they had heaters and blankets.  Gerri had a crab cake sandwich with fries.  I had a Kobe Beef hamburger with blue cheese and Neva had fish tacos,  The portions were large on the hamburger and fries. The food was good as we have always experienced here.






















During dinner we watched several Sun Dogs form.  We got pictures of those and the sunset that followed.





One of the wait staff took pictures of us with the ocean in the background.









 The restaurant validated the parking ticket and Gerri took the shuttle back to the parking lot for the car.  She then picked up Neva and I at a drop off point near the restaurant.

We took the PCH back to Capistrano Beach.  The sky lit up various shades of red as we passed through the beach towns on the way.







After getting back to the Riviera Beach Resort we played another domino game which Neva won.  The domino score for the week is; Neva 5, Frank 4 and Gerri 2.

Tomorrow we plan to check out at 10 and drive to Carlsbad to have lunch with our friends Lou and Mona Milloti at Norte's. Then the drive home.
