Yesterday the three of us went for a drive and found a small cafe/restaurant in Collaroy. It was really hot and humid and it was good to get out of the house. There is something about eating outdoors when the weather is so nice... it gives the meal a completely different feel and vibe. Very relaxed and comfortable.
Collaroy is a beach town on the upper North Shore. It sort of reminds me of the small beach towns of Southern California back in the 1960's. Low key, right on the water, tranquil and quite. We found a parking lot almost on the sand - there was ice plant growing in the dunes and mature plumeria plants were planted along the streets. The three of us walked along the sand and Mitch got completely wet playing in the sand and surf. It was so nice, I promised Mitch we'd come back the next day...
Today the two of us went back and played in the sand and surf. We built a massive sand castle and found lots of shells. You wouldn't know it by looking at the photos, but it was a hot 101 degrees today. The water was in the mid 70's and a nice breeze was blowing in from the ocean. All in all, a really nice day.
