Recuperation & Repacking

After the weekend wedding, we returned to Newport Beach, CA for a couple of days. We could taste the salt in the air at the beach while watching a sunset with pelicans diving for fish and dolphins cruising at the surface in the foreground. We were treated to an afternoon breakfast and a late night drink at fun restaurants. It was the first time Jen and I spent extended time with our California family. Their hospitality was astounding. We watched Finding Neverland and the election results. Here we are: Andrew, Jen, aunt Marsha, cousins Robert and Yazmin, and second cousin Samantha.

Andrew had to stop at Baja Fresh, a restaurant claiming "No Microwaves, No Can Openers, No Freezers, No Lard, No M.S.G., No Compromises"'. It didn'’t taste like Mexico, though it was fresh and healthy.
