Time for a journey south! We attempted to skip the incredibly long lines at the DMV close to where we are living by heading south to a different DMV location. We were told this place would have smaller lines and less of a wait (desirable after our first three hour DMV visit). It was true... less of a wait... because this DMV was closed. Closed from January through May. Luckily, we packed all of the necessities for a day on the beach and just decided to take it as a chance to explore new beaches. It all worked out okay... we went to our local DMV a few days later, and while it took over an hour to do five minutes of paperwork, at least it wasn't multiple hours. :)
And this is how we came to San Clemente pier...
After the pier, we headed a bit north to some cliffs and explored the land overlooking the ocean.
Quite possibly one of the things I am most afraid of, and there are signs warning about them at all of the trails and hikes here. Yuck. I hope I never meet a rattlesnake.
We headed north on the coast again, and ended up near Dana Point. We started just looking at boats, then found a walkway down to the sand. That sand led to a rocky trail that took you to the outermost part of the point.
We couldn't climb all the way around the rocks because the tide was too high and the rocks ran right into the ocean, so we trekked back to the car and made our way a bit more north. We ended up near a place called The Strand. Surfers galore. But of course, my interest was held mostly by all of the tide pools around the beach. :)
