Laguna Beach CA
Trouble (with the police) in Paradise
Thursday August 7th
Today, we got in trouble with the Californian police. Well, not exactly “in trouble” - we got a parking ticket and you have to pay your fine at the police department! So now we have a Laguna Beach Police Department record and a copy of the fine to prove it. We just didn’t see the parking meter. I was too busy jumping out of the convertible (literally jumping out of it onto the sidewalk) because the gutters are so high over here the car door won’t open when you park your car. And Rob was too busy trying to park properly. I didn’t even bother trying to give my pathetic explanation to the police department, I just paid the $36. We also saw a very moving John Lennon art collection for sale in one of the galleries. If we had a spare $3700, we would have bought home a 1/50 print of the Imagine lyrics. There were sketches, lyrics and prints. All amazing and released by Ono. We went for an ocean swim again today, leaving our towels and gear on the private beach our hosts own! According to the taxi driver who saved us the other night, the ocean water comes straight from the North Pole! That could explain why it’s a little cooler (verging on crispy freezing) than Mooloolaba beach.
