California water activities

We braved the cold waters of the Pacific to catch some waves in Pacific Beach. We rented boards and wet suits and spent two hours hanging ten, laughing and trying to look like we knew what we were doing. It was so much fun and we each managed to get a few good rides.

Catching the white water!

Concentration.......Balance...

....Success!!!

We also got a "Groupoun" for snorkeling in La Jolla cove. According to our guide it was the roughest he had ever seen the waters in the bay. Needless to say the visibility was less than stellar due to the waves, but we did get to swim with sea lions. We were about 10 feet from a rock where 30 sea lions were sitting. As the waves came in they would jump off the rock and swim under and around us. They are very playful animals and it was amazing to share in enjoying their natural environment. This was an experience neither of us will forget! (sorry no picutres, we forgot our underwater disposal)
