these photos of the sunset have me stumped....I took these in the order that I am posting them, don't understand the orange sky in some and not the others....
It was cloudy that night and I think the sun was darting back and forth behind the clouds, and they were taken from different angles but posted in order that they came off my camera. maybe one of you experts can give me an answer...

oh well, here goes....all on wed night sept 12th....
from legends....













you can barely see them, but that is Danny from Chicago (I called him chicago, he called me georgia the whole time) He is staying in the room right above me...those 3 girls are part of an orphanage that he built or helped build in st ana....same girls in photo above, as the mystery of the photos still confusing me...lol...

wednesday night was scheduled as wet and wild night, but again not enuff people for the event, so it was dj alli....dj alli plays in the west end gang, among other musical things...tonight I asked him make me a couple of cds...I picked them up from him on thursday...he made me six....a couple were favorites right off the bat, with some of the more popular songs, but now my favorites are some of the songs that I never heard...we listened to them a couple times a week...when I do the cooking for the night, I am jamming to the music and almost drift off into my own little world...Janet will walk in and just laugh, bringing back to reality....

my attire for the evening had Janet ragging me all night...U llook like a typical tourist...well, it was the end of our 2 week stay, we were only going to our home at bourbon beach, and most of my stuff was used....I dont care anyway.....well, several drinks and subs later, I was very touristy looking, especailly since there werent many people there and most were locals....towards end of night, we are swaying the a good beat, and fast car, dwight, mario, patrick and I cant remember the other couple that were all partying with us at our table, well for some reason, I just thought it was time to take off my tourist shirt and start spinning it around my head and really getting into the music, they are all dying and rolling on the table laughing so hard....my wife still laughs when we see the shirt in my closet or something...you had to be there, but oh so funny...the guys kept laughing about it for 20-30 minutes, until we finally had to call it a night....

guess my batteries are running low after 2 weeks off partying....

only pic of the night

thursday morning

today is our last full day, we will be flying out tomorrow...

we are meeting larry and rina at samsara at 2pm....
Janet has a massage scheduled and larry might be getting one...they had never been to samsara and wanted to check it out...also gives us one last chance to hang with my new friends...

alwys looking for new places that we might stay at, I check out bar b barn. It is right down from Bourbon beach ...It is closed at the time, but I cut thru and take a couple of pics...herre are 3 of them







look down the beach



the infamous feet view



Carl ricketts is everywhere, finally caught Janet sitting still



I go take several photos from water looking back at the beach, come back and dry off, then go to the room to prepare a sub and get some dog treats as beach dog had arrived...I hear a knock on the door, and it was Janet...Carl had made a sale, and she was asking if it was ok....let me back track...we bought a couple of paintings on other trips and are running out of room to put things...the last on has not even been framed or displayed...so we made a pact not to buy any stuff this year....so, anyway, she caved in....but wanted me to negotiate the price...she liked 2 of them and had touble choosing, so I made a better deal for both...so I caved too...lol....
