to trailer .....hooray

Feb 6th to 10th
We left Monday around 10:30 a.m.  and stopped on our way to get an Rx for Dad at Kaiser.
Nice young neighbors whose 2 young boys who sort of adopted us.......in and out of our trailer and having snacks.  Wednesday I taught the oldest one (about 9) to play solitaire and hang-man on my Kindle.  Caught on real fast.  The guy is an electrician from Las Vegas,  rented their home and bought a humongous trailer where they live full-time.  He is trying to find a steady job in the bay area.  They'll be here 2 weeks so we loaned them our DVD's and pee-wee golf set.  We told them about Seacliff so I think that is where they are today.
  
Today we tried to go for a walk on the path behind the store, but it looks too rocky for 2 old folks alone ...so will wait for Marie, Martin and Julie to escort us.

looking up back right behind store

saying come on lets explore
