Day 27 - Saturday 8/24/13 San Simeon, CA - Anaheim, CA (264 miles)

Touching the Pacific
Foggy Morning

This has been a day for temperature swings with the morning temps by our seaside motel at 50 and our evening temps at Disneyland in Anaheim in the 90's.  Our cool day began with a foggy early morning walk on the beach where we dipped our toes into the Pacific Ocean.  The surf crashed along the mile-long sandy beach from where we watched seals in the surf.







I ended up driving for a good part of the day, which went something like this;

So, we switched back.

Cars along Hwy 1. in Malibu

We drove through Malibu where thousands of cars lined the edge of the road for the throngs of beach-goers. We couldn't see the ocean-side homes very well and overall, it just didn't seem to impress as we thought it might.











We did walk on the Santa Monica Pier and snagged exceptional Mahi Mahi fish tacos for dinner before heading onward to our Candy Cane Inn destination in Anaheim.  This place sounds hokey, but it was a great 2-story, center courtyard motel with a nice pool right next to the entrance to Disneyland.  A dip in the pool "cooled us off" a bit before hitting the sack.
