Jan 13 - Coastal hike, sunset boat ride and dinner at the marina in Long Beach, CA

  Monday morning, Robbie went off to her workout at the gym, Ann went to surf, and Peter and I took a 4 mile round trip hike along the canal, over to the coast trail, and ending at the Belmont Pier.  The walk along the ocean was very enjoyable, as there is both a bicycle trail and a separate walking path.  We passed a dog park section, where you can let your dogs run without their leashes, lots of volleyball courts, and beautiful sandy beaches.  If you looked out into the ocean, you see lots of oil wells, some of them were designed as palm-covered islands, to look better from the shore.  Also, many ships waiting to go into the Los Angeles port. 
  We spent the afternoon just hanging out.  Since I had just purchased a new, upgraded cell phone, with a "really good camera", Robbie and I spent some time fiddling around with the camera, trying to figure out some of its features.  I think it does, indeed, take nice photos.
  We went for another sunset cruise, and ended up at the marina where we parked the boat, and walked over to the restaurants.  Had a delicious Mexican dinner, outside overlooking the marina.  Boated (is that a word?) home, and watched a movie.
