Duck Dynasty

Lazy day today, with breakfast at Mon Ami downtown Pismo Beach. This is a small crepe shop with a limited menu, but the staff is friendly and the crepes or waffles are cooked right before your eyes.  Donna had the Sunrise crepe and I ordered a Belgian waffle. Both were very good, but the glass of water tasted somewhat like it came from a rain barrel. Maybe that's the ambiance of the place.  Food was good, though, and Donna said the coffee was excellent.

A bit of shopping in Arroyo Grande, just a few miles down the road, stocked us up of enough food to make it home in a few days. We're hoping to make it to Avila Beach tonight for the sunset, and should be close, because Avila is just 7 miles up the coast, and it's not yet 5 as I write this.

The photo highlight of the day was the resident flock of ducks.  These guys cruise the park, up one street and down another, all day long looking for a handout.  We obliged.



Beautiful birds, if a bit assertive about the food bits that we threw them! The males kept each other and the females at a distance by pecking at appropriate times, and it was soon obvious which one was the "boss"! However, every once in awhile, one of the "outsiders" would sneak in to beg!



Off tomorrow for another adventure.  Stay tuned!

    1. It was kinda cool for awhile, until the little critters began to overstay their welcome!
