I'm not much for talking to strangers or mingling in crowds. I don't know what it is about going to the beach with my camera though..I always come home with a few new friends! We just discovered a hidden treasure called Crystal Cove. It's a whimsical little beach just south of Newport. We had such a relaxing day and a delicious meal at the Beachcomber..and of course met some wonderful people!

 The end of the day..

 I think these guys were from out of the country..their English was very broken but they were very funny. I never caught their names but I can only imagine they were Hanz and Franz!

  The lovely Baylee was there with her family. Her mom was snapping a couple of photos and let me join in. Nothing like some beautiful ballet at the beach!

 Me: Should we go back through the tunnel at night?

The girls: Sure!

Me: Do you have your pepper spray?

Tracy: Yes!

Me: Let's go!
