Oceanside

Friday after the auction I discovered our wifi was down, so it's been a long couple of days for me. For some reason our jacks wouldn't fully extend when we parked on Friday, giving the RV a strong tilt to the left. Since Randy worked in the kitchen all day Saturday during the auction, we just dealt with the tilt until Sunday when we were able to level the coach. Then we headed west towards the beach. Along the way we found a big swap-meet in an old drive-in theater lot. The big screens are still there; they just drive the trucks up to them and unload. 

There was lots of stuff for sale, none of which we needed. 90% of the people there were Hispanic, which influenced the snacks. When they sell chips and salty snacks, there are always bottles of hot sauces to sprinkle on. We didn't try those but we did get some Mexican Coke.

Then we drove on to Oceanside, where we walked along the beach. Randy found some sand dollars for me before we headed to the pier. Halfway along the pier this pelican was posing. Apparently he's here a lot because he has his own sign. 

The view from the pier was lovely. We watched surfers try to catch waves below us and admired their hardiness; that water is cold!
