Check out my 9/4/2018 interview on The Writers Corner Live Show in which I share advice and insights on becoming a published writer, literary agents, book marketing, and the writing life. On The Beaches
...to a restaurant in nearby Hermosa Beach,
...where dogs are welcome and have their own menu.
...well, some of us walked, ...through the neighborhoods, ...to Hermosa Beach. We walked the rest of the way along the Strand, ...as the 22-mile walkway along the Los Angeles South Bay beaches is called,
...and we had quite a long wait, ...however Pinky was patient, ...and eventually we were seated.
...and my daughter especially liked her Vegan Power Salad. Alas, Pinky's parents decided not to order him any brunch, recalling that last time they ordered him a doggie meal from Good Stuff he nibbled the meat off the top and left all the healthy rice (See post from 12/7/2017). The following day, Sunday, was Tom's and my last day in Los Angeles, and so my daughter suggested that we spend the afternoon at the San Pedro tide pools, which we'd visited last year on Thanksgiving day (see post from 12/4/2017). And so we drove out to San Pedro, which is about 20 miles South of Manhattan Beach, stopping for lunch at a little place we found near the beach.
...while my daughter ordered a burger ingeniously tucked into lettuce instead of a bun (must file this idea away for future reference).
An actual Philly cheese steak (See post from 6/2/2018).
By good fortune there was a small empty table nestled in a corner behind our booth where the girls were able to sit by themselves and pretend to be grown-ups while enjoying their hot dogs.
....which was at the bottom of a sunken canyon. Though it turned out that we'd come at low tide, when the pools would be at their driest and emptiest, ...still there were plenty of tide poolers out in the shallow spots of sea water scattered among the stones,* ...looking for glimpses of sea treasures,
...or this star fish in his habitat.*
...or with the stones,
...or to stroll around taking in the beautiful vistas. By the end of the day some folks were pretty tired out, ...though I was fine. Then suddenly the week was over, and Monday morning we were back in the L.A. airport,
...where we again could be "One of Us!" (See posts from 4/29/2018 and 4/30/2018)
