Friday afternoon we made our way to Palos Verdes, where, in a mere quarter hour, we traded Long Beach's sand and oil rigs for Abalone Cove's windy bluffs and pebble beaches. We'll have to go back to explore the tidepools and watch for whales on the horizon.

Give them rattlers some space and respect!
Those rocks were perfect skipping stones.
Pelicans in the sky and pelicans in the water. Dinner time.
Goodbye, Abalone Cove! Then, we took the scenic route around Palos Verdes Estates to Hermosa Beach for gelato and coffee.
Unique flavors at Paciugo Gelato and Caffe. My tops: pepe nero and the chocolate with chocolate nibs.
