We spent another night in a campground near Oceano right outside Pismo Beach.  We rode our bikes into downtown Pismo Beach today and to the pier.  I got some great pictures of a pelican.  At first I thought he was not real he was so big.  Be sure and click on the link to look at pictures of him.  We had lunch at a place that was suppose to have the best clam chowder in the state.  It was very good.  We then rode to some outlet stores nearby town because, and let me apologize to all of you before saying, I was too hot!  I had worn a long sleeve shirt and it was roasting.  I know it is pretty cruel considering Seattle weather.  The average temperature annually here is 70!  Maybe we should stay here? Jimmy never even complained about a long bike ride, especially going up hill when his bike wouldn't shift.  You can see a picture of him in the water with shorts on.
The Monarch butterflies are in town from Nov-February and we stopped and saw thousands of them in the Eucalyptus trees in the state park.  We will head south tomorrow for a campground SE of Solvang.  Miss all of you.  We keep looking in the rear view mirror in case of any of our friends are there but so far no luck!
