The cats are adjusting quicker to the RV this time than on the test trip. They still didn't like the car trip from home, but as soon as we released them in the RV, they seemed at ease with the surrounding, seeming to say, "Oh, I know this place!". I just hope they don't resent us for moving them into a much smaller living space for an extended period of time this time around.
Our first stop is Marina, CA, at the Marina Dunes RV Resort. The resort has nice, private RV spaces separated by vegetation so you get a secluded feel which is rare in RV parks (at least that we've seen so far). The area is surrounded by beautiful sand dunes, which is already quite a change of scenery from home. When we visited the Marina State Beach the first afternoon, the wind was howling insanely. We looked around and realized many of the other visitors were just sitting in their cars looking out, not daring to venture out in the strong wind. Since Vince and I both had windbreaker jackets, we tightened up the straps and ran onto the beach. It was quite an experience moving against the gale hurling sands at our jackets, making little tic tic tic noises. Vince then noticed a few birds holding themselves steady in the wind, occasionally descending onto the beach to take a bite of a watermelon lying on the beach. The fine control they had was mesmerizing, and it made me daydream about what it's like to fly...is flying in strong winds similar to swimming in strong currents?
When we finally decided that we've had enough wind, we went for a bowl of hot pho to chase the cold away. Then it was time to go back to the RV to cuddle with the kitties. 😺
Windy,Sandy, kitty, meaty?
