Picture above is in one of the three handsomely tiled bathrooms at the Marion Davis house at the Annenberg Community Beach Center. The whole complex is lovely. The gorgeous pool is open to the public, the kids’ playground is a favorite as is the beach in front of the complex, and you can tour the house for free.
Below is a picture of the house that I got off the internet.
A cool decorated alcove in the house.
We ate at the cafe there, Back on the Beach, toes in the sand, and then had a walk at the shore. Unfortunately the tar globs were coming in strong so we cut our walk short. I looked up about the tar, is there a way to predict when it’s better and when it’s worse and the answer is no, there is not. Of course if there’s been an oil spill it will be worse, but it is also a natural phenomenon, there is oil here that often seeps up into the ocean, which is why there is so much interest in drilling off-shore.
Reception at Back on the Beach. It’s good to make a reservation especially any weekend and anytime in the summer. We got to enjoy June gloom, my personal favorite time at the beach.
And then we stopped by Huckleberry for a Happy Birthday Sweet Treat (thank you Susie for the Whole Day!). We got a blueberry-cornmeal cake that was so delicious. I have simply got to figure out why my pictures of food never look that appetizing, interesting maybe, but they’re missing that unctuous Eat Me quality. I’ll ask google, and then I’ll ask ChatGPT, and I’ll report back!
