It was a beautiful day for an in-depth exploration of San Luis Obispo, CA.
Consulting a map from the Visitor's Center, everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance. We found free parking on a residential street just on the edge of the downtown area. It was in front of a house with several hummingbird feeders that were exceptionally busy. I guessed there were at least 20 birds flitting around at any given instant.
The mission at the heart of San Luis Obispo was well preserved and was a good start for our exploration of the city. There was a museum with a lot of displays showing a little bit of what life was like at the mission in the late 1700s.
A warning label on a building. How unique!
Yes, I peeked inside. It was really very different, but pretty dated. It seemed small but then compared to our coach it was expansive.
Low tide was pretty close to sunset, so it was a great opportunity to study the tide pools in the afternoon sun and catch some sunset color at the same time. The coastal access stairwell on Ocean Boulevard, at the end of Pier Avenue in Shell Beach, was our favorite for tide pools. Lots of sea life posing for pictures!
Don't worry, be happy!
Is it just me? I see Big Bird every time I look at this picture (complete with wing).
Wow, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. I took video of the Sea Hare, but I am afraid it will take up too much of our allotted storage space on Blogger (the file is huge.) May I email it to you?
