Los Pelicanos

The brown pelicans are all decked out in their beautiful silvery plumage for breeding season. There is a big old pier about a mile up the beach that. Lot of guys fish from. They seem to catch a lot of little stingrays and have to put them back at the risk of getting stung. Anyway, the pelicans hang out on the pier and are pretty tame, you can walk right up to them.

There were also some guys skim-boarding on the beach there. Their boards are bigger than the ones we had in the olden days and are pointed instead of round. They spent a good deal of time waxing them up. They skim along the sand and then turn into the waves. I guess it could be fun but I remember how hard that sand is when you wipe out!
