Trinidad Pier and a Little Bit More

I remember it was cold there in Trinidad.

Oh, for some of that cold air now.

We have cooled down to the high nineties.

We went through two weeks of 100 plus 

degrees with humidity shipped up from 

Mexico...thank you very much.

It got so bad, we broke down

and purchased a room air conditioner

for the bedroom so we could sleep

at night.  Otherwise we use our swamp

cooler (evaporation) which works with dry heat.

Not so much when it's  hot

and  sticky  with humidity

and 116 degrees.

Just looking at these photos from

last month makes me miss being on the coast

all that much more.

The sun was just starting to break through

the fog adding color to the grayness.

A helicopter out for a rescue,

or training I hope.

One of the souvenir shops in Trinidad

has the most beautiful garden out front. 

I didn't notice the guy sitting there in

the shadows until after taking the photos.

I hope he didn't mind...

We took a side trip down to Ferndale, CA.

I only took a few photos there.

Here's the least blurry one

of my hero helping someone to cross the street

so she could get to the post office.

She was afraid to cross without help 

and was brave enough to ask us.

Always the Boy Scout.
