Dinner was in the resort restaurant. Larry and I each ate only half of our dinners and took the rest back to the trailer.
This morning we got up early and took off walking with Bob and Elaine Vasser down to the bakery for breakfast. On the way back we visited their albino animal of some kind or other. He looked a bit like a small reindeer with long antlers. Yes, he was white. The sign in the office told what he was, but no one remembered. Friendly little guy, though.
The drive to Pismo Beach was uneventful, although the CHP's were really out in force. We didn't see that many law enforcement officers during our whole month-long trip to Texas! Not counting the Border Patrol! We heard from the grapevine that one Airstreamer was pulled over, but the informant didn't know or reveal if he did know - who it was.
After unhitching, we took off with Bob and Elaine for the local crab shack and got ourselves some clam chowder in mid afternoon. Then we walked along the beach and out on the wharf for awhile. Bob is turning into quite the photographer, and has promised to share his expertise with newly acquired skills.
Back at the park, we had a drizzly Happy Hour and then headed for the Elks Lodge and its "all you can eat" spaghetti dinner. The 50/50 raffle prize of $90. was won by our very own Ethelwynne Golden. Alas, the dinner did not include dessert, so Sue and By Campbell led us to Arroyo Grande and Doc Burnstein's Ice Cream Lab. Tonight was the weekly "show" at 7:00 and we were just in time to observe and help. Bob Vasser was one of the volunteers who got to pull the switch that activated the machine. We had previously voted on the flavor and extra added ingredients and then got to sample the results, which were actually produced very quickly. English toffee with marshmallows and M&M's. Interesting... We thought a little more freezing might have helped! Then we got to choose a name for the concoction. Mine was: MMMallowToffee.
