A Sunset Stroll

It is hard to believe that we are in the month of November.  A year ago, at the farm, we had our first snow.  It did not last long but it was a surprise because it was not predicted either.  Yesterday, in Carlsbad, it was a warm 79 degrees.  Since it was so warm and we missed the sunset last Friday when we took the dogs for a walk along the beach we decided that we would take the dogs for another walk along the beach so we could watch the sunset.  Carlsbad beach is a nice beach and a perfect place to view the sunset.  We got to the beach around 4:00 and walked along the sidewalk along the beach; dogs are not allowed on the beach.  Gunnar and Maddie attract a lot of attention, especially Gunnar, aw we walk so we have to stop and let people pet the dogs.  When the sun started to set, around 4:58 pm, we stopped and enjoyed the view.  There was not a cloud in the sky which made for a beautiful sunset.  The waves were pretty good so there were still a lot of surfers in the water catching the last waves before it got to dark.  After the sunset we walked a little longer then headed over to Café Panini for dinner.  Pam and Brian have been trying to take me there since last April.  It has always been too crowded but last night we hit it just right.  It is a local sandwich restaurant with a large outside patio that also had live music.  I had a turkey and provolone panini and it was one of the best I have had.  It was a nice way to end a beautiful day.  Thanks Pam and Brian for another great day!
