I have a feeling that won't deter him at the next beach. We have had a leisurely drive south. We veered out toward the coast at Pismo Beach which was very underwhelming. It appeared very "beachy" with various surf shops etc and the beachfront wasn't quickly accessible so we moved along. The dunes we saw further along were impressive though. Apparently they have been featured in many films. One tour book says they are still uncovering the set from the 1923 film The Ten Commandments. We were wondering if they could have been Tatooine from Star Wars. Another Google search coming up.
From there we traveled inland a bit through another agricultural area near Guadelupe. We did stop today and loaded up on fruit and avacados. Not the prices we saw previously but we're looking forward to fresh guacamole tonight.
The beach pictured above is in Carpinteria. This town is between Santa Barbara and Ventura. A colony of drilling platforms are offshore. Something must be coming up because Isaac's legs and feet ended up with beads of tar on them. Hmmm.... Makes you wonder about the local sea life. The beach was busy but not crowded as we would've expected on a Saturday. Onward we go!
