Central Coast

Day #14: After our night in the old church, we drove up north across the central coast area.

Birdwatching.

Beautiful.

Lunch stop in Los Alamos.

Los Alamos is a nice little old town with some cool buildings and several antiques stores.

We also stopped in Guadalupe because I needed a haircut.

Gilbert is the best barber in the central coast area.

Then we met up with Mark Garza of the Headhunters car club.

Together with his family we had a great evening at a mexican restaurant. His car is a wonderful 1946 Ford mild kustom.

Seal Beach – Ventura

Day #13: Sometimes it rains even in Southern California.

The beach of Seal Beach.

Lonely surfer.

For the night, we found a fantastic Bed & Breakfast: the Victorian Rose in Ventura.

It was built as a church in the 19th century.

It used to be a wedding chapel before it was restored into a unique Bed & Breakfast.

It's said to be haunted but the only ghost I saw was the one in my mirror.

Oceanside – Fallbrook

Day #12: It's our last day in the Oceanside area.

Before we leave we head back to the Dragmaster shop.

Memories.

Lunch time.

Kyle's 1956 Chevy Wagon.

Sunday at the beach

Day #11: It's sunday.

Time to do nothing.

Maybe some reading.

But basically nothing.

Just nothing.

Maybe get some booze for the superbowl party.

Or just relax with friends.
