Day 2 of Jury Duty is over

another nice day for a walk at the beach.
these two guys thought there was enough wind
but they called it a day after only about 5 minutes
in the water.  they seemed to be having fun floating/
being dragged across the sand.  or at least the one guy did as the
other guy tried to prepare his kite and board.
                                                                                                                      i walked further down the beach to look for seashells and my favorite...rocks with holes all the way through them.  and then to sit and enjoy the sunset.  a couple of dolphins swam by and one jumped out of the water but my little digital camera wasn't fast enough to catch him...or perhaps it was operator error as i was also holding my 35mm camera with the zoom lens focused on a lone surfer.  i didn't get a photo of the dolphins but i did get one of this seagull taking off from one of the posts that holds
a beach volleyball net... no games were scheduled today... as if beach volleyball games should
ever have a schedule.

after i got home and was having dinner (soup and a sandwich), i almost fell
asleep in my soup.  i had stayed up late watching a Japanese drama and then got up early to listen to my new favorite radio show on the internet from Scotland.  i had good intentions of taking a nap today but choose to call my Mother and then go for a walk at the beach.  and then i remembered my little friend named Daigo in Kobe, Japan.
i found this video i took of him last year.  so cute!  i miss him and hope to see him in April
during cherry blossom season.  

i still haven't found the receipt for my airport parking pass that i have been looking for 
for over a week but i did find this receipt and photo of my good friend Steve and i from January 28th, 1995.
i can tell you exactly where i was 13 years ago..day 1 of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
this is the receipt for the cabin we stayed in the night before our hike.
