This afternoon I headed to PB to check out a very cool mural at Pacific Beach Elementary School. (I’ll blog about that shortly!)
After having a good look at the mural, I kept my camera out for what might be considered a slightly weird walk. I headed west toward the Pacific Ocean and eventually found myself approaching the grassy park overlooking Law Street Beach. I then turned south and followed the oceanfront boardwalk down to Crystal Pier.
Exactly how weird was this walk?
A friendly guy with the welding company that owns this cool truck talked to me near a steel sculpture of a bison. It was in a work lot by the sidewalk. I forgot to snap a photo of the sculpture. Bummer.Who wants to take surf lessons? Make this the best summer ever!As I neared the Pacific Ocean, I found this peeling street art that seems to portray Neptune on a seahorse.Looking north toward the ocean off La Jolla from the grassy park at Law Street.After I took this photo, I rested on this bench for a little bit.In honor of our parents Bill and Jean Manion. Thanks for the sunsets and the dawns.Look at all the beach goers! I see Crystal Pier in the distance.Tons of surfing action and swimmers today at Pacific Beach.As I began south, I found another perfect bench overlooking the beach. A gull must think this guy has some food.The Pacific Beach boardwalk is part of the California Coastal Trail.Lots of bicyclists out on a warm summer Friday afternoon.I passed on a Chips Galore! ice cream sandwich this time.Wooden stairs down to the beach.Sign explains how marine protected areas stretching north from here–directly off La Jolla–safeguard our ocean’s beauty. (Click this photo and it will enlarge for easier reading.)I was very tempted to descend.Here come some inline skaters.A cool mural at Kono’s Coffee by @HannasMurals.La Playa Nudista? Never heard of it. Where’s that?Gone surfing.Stay weird.
Well, honestly, this particular walk didn’t seem that weird to me. But if sunshine, a beach full of sunbathers, distant surf, passing bicyclists, skaters and walkers, and an ice cream vendor with a tinkling bell on his cart are considered weird, I’ll take it!

That was a nice walk. I can only imagine the ocean smells and hear the chatter of people and singing of the gulls. Beautiful
