the next day on this trip is 4/19/14, saturday...starting to get a little bored w/o my wife...not trying to say that i wish i had waited to leave, i am jsut saying that i love sharing my life with her, and life is better with her....

I am planning to walk to Seastar...I have a friend that i met a couple years ago arriving today at about 4, so I am gonna be there to greet them and then stay for the saturday night show....My normal dress routine is swim trunks and a top, shorts and a tee or two, and then my night shorts and shirt...i sweat a lot, so i change shirts alot...and my stuff is very colorful....i dont have many pics of myself, but i am sure some can post my attire for us...lmbo...a hot mess....anyways, i pack my 2 changes of clothes and all else i could need for the day, prepared a few subs, and I would be ready....fooled around at Bar B Barn wiht Bettye and John for awhile, yellowbird for couple dirty bananas to start the day, then i am off at about 1030....

walk to the corner bar and grab a box lunch...best box food yet and I have had many...had a couple pieces chicken and fries for about 4.00...ate on my table across the road where I can view everything...




I start my walk up the West End road...I see a sign advertising the >Pool Party for next friday night...


the famous tree



and a few shops along the way

someone asked aobut subs, well I enjoyed a sub at most of these stops, when in doubt, just ask

the walk continues...it is hot, hot, hot...

stop and say hello to our friend dwight, who is hanging at canoe...I pick and chose places to stop for a few bites of my subs and htis is a good one to start with....

pass by the German bar


grab a beer and a few bites of sub from here


a nice view from a closed love boat


Mi Yard, although I didn t stop, a great place for an e99 sandwich and a sub

sky bar


had a beer a pee wee's...always enjoy some convo and smoke at elvis place...great view and off the beaten path..thought i had a pic, but no...



stop by jennys for some cake...I love the brownies...Connie wasnt in...the girl behind the counter told me to be careful as I stuff a big piece in my mouth...lmbo...another place to enjoy a sub

[groove16]

starts to rain near xtabi, so I stop in here...this is Our favorite spot to hang on the cliffs...everyone has their favorites...it is not the cheapest place to drink, but i dont drink as much..best dirty banana ever though...and a great bartender in omar, who welcomes us on every trip....

I am a little wet, sp I do a little jumping and swimming...it is my first taste of the salty sea and I love it...this is what it is all about...





no diving no swimming...yeah right...this is alos a great place to enjoy a sub....or two


I dry a bit, enjoy a sub, and then continue on the way...it starts to sprinkle a little..I am by Rockhouse and I have never been on property s i duck in hear...maybe i can check it out...the girl at the desk gets me a guide and we head to pool area when the bottom falls out...spend a 15 minute rain delay here..





after the rain lets up a little, i am escorted back out...nice place...not for me...

[groove16]

Head on out and a get a little ways and the bottom falls out again...no bar in sight, i just make the trip...i have finished my brownie, a few stripes and a few subs and i feel no pain...the rain is coming down and i dont care...i remember singing rain songs outloud...lmfao...literally laughing outloud at my situation...the cabs quit beeping as i was soaked...i get to ricks and it has let up....I take a few pics and get a couple jumps in...
not the big jump, just a couple from a couple of the lowere levels...









look closely at the diver


and a look at the lighthouse

[groove16]

I walk to ltu, and was gonna continue, but decided to go on to seastar...

I arrive and this is the view of the pool..met Cindarella...took a swim in the rain, as it continues...



it is about 4 pm when i arrive...my friends have yet to arrive...everyting I have is soaked...so I arrange a ride with Henry the driver of the seastar van...on his first trip down to pick up guests for tonights party, he will drop me off, pick up the guests and them pick me back up....two for today and his wife arrive and we talk for a few minutes...they are getting checked in and i tell them my plans, so we get back together later...
