I took a little road trip to Shell Beach which is appx 25 miles
south east of New Orleans proper. A hard hit fishing community.
There is a Hurricane Katrina memorial at the end of Yscloskey Hwy....
both on shore and in the water. It's also an area where fishermen take
their boats out to the giant Lake Borgne, it is along the Mississippi River
-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) which is an inlet the leads to the Gulf Of Mexico.

Another calm low tide this morning, but not nearly as many species of nudibranchs as yesterday at Montana de Oro.
We had started the day in Monterey and did the aquarium, then the slow coast road down. Decided to stop for the night in Pismo Beach. It was relatively quiet on a Sunday evening in October. Can't really do this kind of thing anymore now that Matthew has to get back to school on Mondays. But, you adapt.

After our amazing breakfast at Seaside Cafe in Shell Beach, we went for a little walk. This was the view from the end of a nondescript little residential street. How amazing must it be to have this in your backyard?
