Under the Pier

So sorry for the extended absence, and the ignoring of the poor blog! We are on vacation in California visiting family, which has been very busy and very full of family activities.  And before we left was the usual scramble to complete (Ha! As if!) both work and life-administration projects before our trip.  I haven't even had a chance to post our Easter pictures, but they will come next, I think.  But today we got the chance to see some seals and sea lions up close and personal under the Old San Luis Obispo Port Pier, in Avila Beach.  They were just snoozing away in a big pig pile, except for this one guy who missed his chance to jump on the platform at high tide, and was swimming around in the water about 6 feet below wondering how they all got up there.
