Journeys to America Part 3 by Isao

Whenever I go to America,
I'm shocked at how excellent it is.
Our destination this time was San Diego ~ Hollywood
During [our stay] the things we did were
staying at Torrance
at 4:30 we left the hotel
we took the highway 405 to San Diego
we speedily drove the car down South
The morning sun faced the highway or the sea.
we stopped the car and went down a road continuing on to the sea,
our mood enhanced
The  Point we often went to was
at the very southern end of Orange County
This was San Onofre State Beach

(The holy place of Longboard)
Beside it is the American force base Camp Pendleton
and from the beach you can see the San Onofre nuclear power plant.
This is "Trestles."

The picture we took together was of
the foreign resident of California, the surfer Yagichan
When we came here, he was a beach guide.
He gave us information about the beach waves that day.
He also guided us around the Point
Every year in October at the "Trestles,"
there is a surfing contest,
held for the Japanese who come here often.
