From Room To Beach: An Adventure

Fri 21 Dec - It's quite a trek
from my room to the beach... you'll see.
Here's my mirror (Rene wanted all the details, so here goes... Rene, I didn't get any shots from the bathroom or shower... maybe I'll shoot those tomorrow).
Here's my plastic chairs and foam-like couch.
Here's my luxury bedroom (notice the light switches).
It's not much... but it's home.
Power-laiden battery charging station.
Here's that new executive office I've been asking for... it includes a better office chair than the ones we have at work).
Here's the outside of my secret lair... they'll never find me here, it's GPS-proof!
Now the stairs, and the fun, begins.
1. Please read all posted signs.
2. Safety first!
This is named Pearow Parkway... not sure why.
Lots of stairs...
But after a while, you don't even notice them much...
When you get to the recycle bins, turn right...
But don't slip after it rains!
And don't drink this. And don't do anything else either.
This has a name too, but I don't remember it again.
Did I mention stairs?
Here's the first bathroom... so plan ahead or run fast!
This is the path the cats, and everyone else, use to get to the restaurant.
No reservations or call-ahead seating required.
Nice restaurant... but can't they do something about the view?
Shhhh... don't wake T. J.
Not even close to the goat trail yet.
Again with the slippery.
The stairs continue...
Finally... a place to rest!
Approaching the store and registration area.
This is the laundry area behind the store.
Get ready for the goat trail!
Goats build the best trails... see if they don't!
Goats love to build things with large, seemingly permanent obstructions that are difficult to navigate... especially after all-night rain storms. We all luv ya here, goats!
The goat trail goes on and on (trust me, I skipped many pictures).
Has anyone seen the beach yet?
Look, a cactus... RUN!
There's some water and sand down there... that might be a beach.
Just a little more goat trail... please!
and then it's...
Beach!
I wanted to get a closer shot of that pelican, but my thing's not long enough... (previous sentence written in Rene-Speak for your enjoyment. One might normally say, just to clarify, that their lens isn't long enough to get a good close up, but hey).
This one's a little closer...
Like swimming in an aquarium! I saw three barracuda today. One was just swimming near the bottom looking for fish, wasn't even looking at me. Then I saw the other two while getting out of the water. They were swimming right next two each other, just off shore in shallow water. They looked like they needed to bite something soon.
