SD:SF Seal Beach to Dana Point

Today we spent a great deal of time on bike paths on the beach and the remainder on Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway.  Most of it was at least “ok” cycling. But the last 10 miles along the PCH we had no bike path and lots of traffic.  As we left Seal Beach this morning, we saw this bizarre building. No, it’s not a water tower; it’s a home.  Well maybe unoccupied since the sign is advertising “vacation rental property”. Yes, there is an elevator.

Speaking of California real estate we saw a billboard the other day advertising “Your second home” – 800 square feet – at a cost of $1,295,000.  Ahhhh, California Life Style.

 

We took another ferry today; this time to Balboa Island.  See photo below.  Just as we were about to board the ferry, Brenda told me she had a flat time. That makes three.

If you ignored the two options, this was only a 37 mile day. So we bypassed the hotel, had lunch and rode an additional 4 miles to the Mission San Juan Capistrano.  See below.  By the way, a mission by the same name in Texas is 60 years older than this one in California.
