San Diego

Near Trader Joe's, a strange juxtaposition of buildings.

We are visiting Jean, a new friend, in San Diego. He is from Drummondville and was just a bit younger than Ghis in school. Morgane is happy because Jean has twins – a boy and a girl – only six months younger than Morgane. It’s fun to speak and hear French after so long. Of course, Ghis can’t send Morgane private messages anymore because everyone understands!

Big waves breaking near the shore.

We are happy to be sitting by the fire inside because the weather has been stormy. We haven’t seen anything scary, but there was a brief tornado warning and there seems to be flooding in some areas. Here it’s raining but not enough to keep us out of the hot tub!

The Patagonia Store

Yesterday we got out of the house to go to Trader Joe’s, our favourite grocery store. Today we went to the Patagonia store. We love this company and their clothes! I think it’s the first time I’ve been to one of their company stores, not counting the discount outlet in Maine which I love, too.

We admired the enormous waves at the beach but didn’t stay outside for long. Hopefully we’ll have better weather for exploring this weekend.
