Santa Ana Wharf

For the past two Saturdays, Emily and I have gone biking.

{Biking is an excellent way to explore the city, provided you can avoid death in crazy traffic!}

I found an old bike behind our house which someone had left behind. It had flat tires, but thankfully we have wonderful guards at the clinic, who are happy to help in these matters. A couple days later, I had a bike in perfect condition. [Except it squeaks, but whatever, beggars can't be choosers]

We have been a lot of places, but my favorite is Santa Ana Wharf.


 This poor community has houses on stilts, which don't look particularly sturdy. The water/sand/mud around this area is filthy; however....
 ...that didn't deter these little fellas from rompin around.
**But honestly, if the Pacific Ocean was your backyard, wouldn't you?**

These goats just live here in this dust. I don't know what they eat or drink, or who milks and takes care of them, but it makes me happy to ride by them. 
And of course a selfie...

On another note: I would love, love, love to receive a box, package, or just a good ole letter in the mail.
