Well, I see that none of you lot showed up at the beach! I looked for you - what happened?
The weather was spectacular with the sun shining and a little cool breeze blowing as we took a stroll along the pier. The pier at San Clemente is quite long and is used by many people as their morning exercise area so one gets to see lots of sun-drenched firmly toned bodies jogging along the pier in the latest exercise couture - as well as some folks who evidently dressed themselves in the dark and some rather vulgar fashion statements that ought to be against the law!
After the recommended daily dose of sea air, we stopped for a bit of brekkies at The Fisherman's - the only restaurant on the pier. The food is passable although a bit pricey but as you can see, Mr. Indi really enjoyed the Bailey's coffee which, of course, is part of every balanced breakfast.
Next, it was time for a poke about the street market that is set up on weekends on the main street in San Clemente. There were lots of stalls with lovely fresh fruit and veg and also a couple of stalls selling wonderful flowers. An old chap selling orchids for $5 was kind enough to let me take photos. The orchids were stunning and an unbelievable bargain at $5 - although I didn't buy any - I should have.
San Clemente is a very "elderly friendly" town and there are lots of strategically placed benches on the main street so that both me and him could have a little sit down in between our window shopping and real live actually spend money shopping. Mr. Indi got another Hawaiian shirt - cream with palm trees - and I got another handbag - which I really needed - honest!
We shall be going back to SC in a couple of weeks and I hope to see some of you there - and please - do dress appropriately.
