Visiting TB Byron (Brashed)
This weekend, I went to California to visit my friend Byron who is also a travbuddy (
www.travbuddy.com/Brashed). Given the short time I had over the weekend, we did not spend much time in Aliso Viejo where Byron lives (besides the accommodations of course, lol!) I must say he has a great home with such ambiance and style. I found out he likes African wildlife and Egyptian mythology • the combination was quite interesting.Aliso Beach: Beside his house, we also visited Aliso beach which was very quite at an early hour int he morning. The sun was just rising and the skies were gloomy - as if to beacon the rain. a few people were beginning to set camp for a day at the beach. It was nice to see the waves begin to build and watch as peple carry loads of items to the beach, very interesting.
In Europe and most part of the world, people do not carry as many things to the beach as the Americans do. I saw a couple carry tent's chairs, huge coolers, BBQ grill, buckets of fruits, hot dogs, ketchup, mayo etc. They literally had a cart pulling this stuff down to the beach. I could not tell if they were planning more than just that day at the beach - I was taken aback.
