LOCATION: San Clemente, California south of Los Angeles
WEATHER: Nice. Highs in 70s. Fog in PM
When we woke up, at the "campground" along the highway, we encountered high tide. The waves were right up to the rocks. This is the view from our door.....
We showed the Airstream to a couple, then hit the road. Some locals here at the roadside campground gave us some suggestions to avoid the worst traffic going through Los Angeles. I was quite nervous.
Their suggested route took us on Highway 1, the Pacific Highway, along the coast through Malibu and Santa Monica. 
We passed fabulous mansions perched precariously over the ocean and others on sheer cliffs. I can see why mudslides are devastating here.
After Santa Monica, we got on the freeways. The 6-lane racetrack was uneventful, thank goodness. We did have one boo-boo. My google map instructed us to get off the interstate to get to our campground. As we approached the entrance to this highway, we realized it is a toll road, and one that does not accept cash. So, we quickly exited. We ended up on the campus of UC-Irvine! We were able to drive through and return to the interstate,
We stopped at this campground around 2:00. We had to do some shopping to get ready for tomorrow's crossing into Mexico.
Unfortunately, as we returned to the campground, a thick fog rolled in. It really cooled the temps, and limited our view of the ocean.
At the supermarket, I had given George his part of the grocery list including chicken or pork. Without my supervision, he came up with the 'family pack" with 10 huge thighs. Where will I put them? He was proud that he got a deal. :). What a shopper!
While we had a great grill, we made a fire and grilled all the chicken. I will use it in the next week or so. We didn't eat it tonight as I had other food that needed to be used up.
DINNER: Grilled paninis using leftover Thanksgiving turkey, provolone cheese, bacon and avocado. Salad on the side,
