La Jolla is a seaside suburb of San Diego. We drove down the coast from Carlsbad to take a look around and meet up with friends who live down there. We started out by having lunch at a New Zealand themed restaurant called Queenstown. According to the waiter, one of the owners is married to a kiwi. It is part of a chain of restaurants in the area with New Zealand themes, with names such as Raglan and Dunedin. To be perfectly honest, Mal’s vege pie wasn’t quite up to New Zealand standard and Lauren was less than impressed with her long black (a New Zealand version of an Americano, but stronger).
After lunch we strolled down to the ocean where a lot of people were out enjoying their Sunday.
It wasn’t just people enjoying the sunshine. Pelicans lined the cliffs.
And the seals were enjoying playing in the surf. They were having a great time body surfing in on the waves and being rolled up onto the beach before swimming straight back out to catch another wave.
In a continuing theme, classic car of the day is another pickup truck.
