Monday 30th May. 19 c Warm sun. Memorial Day USA

It’s a fabulous sunny day as we wake on our last day in this fabulous city. We decide to recap on all that we have seen and with that a swift trip to the drug store for blister plasters and hair spray off we walk to Seaport village and the sea front. It’s gorgeous and warm we both feel so thankful to be here and able to enjoy all these delights. I notice lots of flags at half mast on larger buildings. We walk down 5th Avenue to the train line and walk parallel to the the trains along Martin Luther King way. Along this scenic route are engraved plaques with exerts from his famous speeches. Each one poignant. It’s a tiring walk as as we haven’t had breakfast we decide to stop for early lunch. I fancy a spot on the pier overlooking the water. We are given a crap table and I ask for a better one inside, of course if you ask you get and we did. We order water and a cocktail each then decide to sample the food. Roger has clam chowder and lobster roll with cheese Mac and I have fish ceviche and grilled shrimp. We sit on this table watching the various boats and jet ski for two or so hours. I feel we will fall asleep if we stay much longer. I wish we had deck chairs on the prom to have a lovely doze. We walk on along the prom and people watch. It’s seems there are lots of Hispanic people here today for the Bank holiday. I so admire their gorgeous thick hair, however a lot of them are very large ladies and don’t seem to worry about wearing tight leggings or brief bear midriffs. At around 4 pm we stop at a bar with a great long open bar to sit and watch the ocean. Roger tries a flight of beers and I have a lager. We stop and chat to a few other holiday makers and locals. Feeling a bit melancholy we walk slowly back to wards Gaslamp. We then spy a wine tasting. What a con you had to buy it. Well we did both needed the loo. Walking back to our hotel a quick stop at our fav bar restaurant for a cocktail each we decide on one dozen oysters to complete the day.
