Beach day was wednesday where we relaxed in the perfect sunshine while listening to the waves roll in aaaand some construction happening close by. It took us an hour to get there thanks to the bumper to bumper traffic due to all the spring breakers. The beach was packed more than my friend had ever seen it which is how we ended up next to the construction. I was mesmerized by the big trucks just moving dirt around. I wanted to ask what they were doing because it looked like piles of sand were just getting moved around with various equipment.
Then the disel fuel started blowing our way and we had to pack up camp and move to a new location. There were four of us at this point, friends of friends of friends and for one, it was her first time on the beach! So we all decided that she needed a more peaceful place for her first time. We found a tranquil place that wasn't too crowded and then my friend and I went to go grab some gelato! I walked in and was amazed at the rows of flavors. Together we tried 8 flavors before we decided on something absolutely delicious. Walking back along the beach with our slowly melting gelato was one of those perfect moments.
As the sun set, we played paddle ball. My friends friends were great. We all laughed at each other when we hit the ball to an invisible player or swung at the air, completely missing the ball. Its nice to not feel pressured to be any good at something!
The beach became packed for the orange sunset and then quickly, we were some of the only people there.
Dinnertime! We went to a Mexican place near the beach. There we had many adventures. We didnt get a waitress right away but heard the waitress tell the table next to us that there were no chips. No chips at a mexican restaurant!? Oh no...
When we finally got our drink order, the woman told us someone else would be back to take our order only to return shortly and say she would be our waitress. We ordered our dinners someone ordered guac only to have it come out with no chips. It was hilarious. No chips or anything to dip. Within minutes, our waitress brought out chips (where did those come from??) and a dessert to apologize. The dessert was pretty good and so was dinner, although there were no black or refried beans! The first plate came out and the waitress said in an awesomely sassy voice "so, we only have pinto beans so if any of you ordered any other beans, thats what you're going to get... sorry." We could only laugh at the oddity of it all. Because we were waited on so late to begin with, we were the last table there and they started to clean up as we were sitting there still. It was quite an entertaining evening at the Mexican Cantina...
