The last leg of this wonderful journey took us from Las Vegas over to the coast in Santa Cruz, CA where the weather was "picture" perfect! From our vantage point on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was framed in the most stunning colors of blue we'd seen in a long time. The Pacific Ocean was a sight to behold these last few days with temps in the mid 70's and visits with old friends it completed our 5 month journey.
Our vantage point on West Cliff Drive showcased the Santa Cruz Minicipal Wharf and Beach Boardwalk with Lili's beloved Santa Cruz Mountains visible in the background. During the summer months this area is mostly foggy and not all is visible at the same time. This is a mecca for folks from Fresno and Sacramento Valleys to escape the hot days in the summer months. 
Along with beach combing the surfers provide entertainment at Cowell's Beach between West Cliff Drive and the Wharf. Some of those brave souls were out there without wetsuits on. Brrrrrr. Even though the air temps were in the mid 70's the water is still only 50 degrees. This was a pretty calm day so the waves were a bit wimpy. So, our journey comes to an end upon our arrival back home tomorrow. We'll have had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with family and wish all our friends, new and old, a very Happy Christmas season wrapped in the warmth of family, friends and love..............................
CHEERS, LILI & CARL
