and then there were three
and then two (counting the guy with the camera, me)
oh, and tony makes three for a lunch of Mexican food in Redondo Beach
Mike and i had a nice day of walking and talking and a little eating. after lunch in Redondo Beach we took my car (public bus) up to Hermosa Beach and walked back down to the beach. we stopped by another old friend Bryce's new shop called Curious which is on Pier Avenue near the beach. i had not been in the store. back in March i met Bryce outside his new shop painting. he had recently returned from living for 4 years in Kauai. at that time the shop was not open so today was the first day to see it. very nice. very eclectic, cards, picture frames, candles, jewelry. and i was happily surprised to see some of my photos in his shop. Mike and i continued on down to the beach and took a rest out on the pier, watching the surf, surfers and other things that caught are eye ... pelicans, seagulls, etc. from there we walked back along the bike/walking/skating path and eventually ended up at Redondo Pier, Redondo Beach and then finally back at his hotel. as you can see from the above photos the June Gloom returned around 5pm which actually made it cool and comfortable. much different than Mike's Florida weather. i left him to watch America's Got Talent as i caught the bus back home around 915p. nice day with an old friend. he has a 530am van to catch. i will be sleeping in until at least 6 or 630.
