May 12....Another beautiful day in San Luis Obispo. We slept in today. We have been going pretty hard so we must have needed it. Hey it's vacation right. We headed to SLO downtown. We found a really nice Starbucks and woke up while people watching. On the way to the shop there was a young man with a dog and a sign asking for help in feeding the dog. I gladly gave him money. Sometimes you need help. A nice mom helped my mom up on the curb. A few pictures later we hopped in the car and spent a couple hours at the SLO Mission. It was spectacular. The museum had artifactss from the habitants that had built and lived there from bowls to arrow heads to guns to furniture and religious robes. The garden was pretty filled with roses and other beautiful plants and flowers. The inside of the sanctuary was beautiful and yet simple adorned with daunts, the Virgin Mary and various Saints. There was a man outside on the bench painting along with a man giving the history of the mission yo a young couple. It was a beautiful day. We met up with my brother Les and his family at their home. We visited and caught up on each others lives. I watched while my nephews therapist worked with him using a swing and baloons Lakoda warmed up to me a little more this visit. Mom and I took off and headed to Shell Beach where we sat on a cliff bench and saw whales go bye, seagulls and brown birds keeping busy on the rock before us. We saw seals, a couple snuggled up and fishing below Us kayakers, a sailboat and listened to the ocean. Hit the rocks below or in the caves. We met a seagull we named gully and fed it cheesenips. At last we watched the sunset and it was beautiful. Home we came to enjoy a sandwich and wine. Not a bad Monday.
