Today we golfed at Pine Glen at the Sycuan Resort in El Cajon. This course is not as lush as the one yesterday. The land is scrubby and the greens weren't as flat and well kept. We also had to walk a lot further and had longer holes. There were beautiful views of rugged hills all round. The course was very hilly, so very challenging for us. The course was 18 holes and 3 par, but we decided to do only our usual 9 holes. We're not used to playing in this much heat and sun. It was up to 78 degrees today. I know that's not hot for my TX relatives, but it's hot for us!
After golf, we had lunch at El Cajon Bistro. Sandra got a wheatgrass and carrot juice drink, which tasted like the sludge in the lawn mower to me, but the salmon wrap and ahi tuna salad we had were delicious. Then we went to La Jolla to look for beaches. Charlie and Donelle saw seals here, but we didn't get there until 1pm, so I imagine the seals were out in the cool water by that time. We walked along the beach looking for likely beach glass spots.

The beach here is mostly very cool carved flat sandstone, but not so great for finding beach glass.
We'd given up mostly and started back when we found a little sandy spot with lots of pebbles (which is sometimes good for beach glass). The receding tide had left them more accesible than they were when we first passed them. We found lots of beach glass!

Most of the pieces were pretty small, but we were happy with our haul.
Sandra even found one red piece which you can see in the close up below. We almost never find red glass.
