San Clemente

Today Emilie and I drove down to San Clemente to meet a couple that Emilie’s family is friends with and who she stayed with during a two-month visit to the U.S. when she was in college.

The restaurant was on the San Clemente pier and we arrived a little early so we decided to walk around a bit to take in the sights. The weather was brisk, but it was still nice out with mostly clear skies.



















Lunch was very nice. Both Emilie and I went with the swordfish, which is a bit hard to find in Switzerland. It was interesting to meet the friends of Emilie’s family and see how random connections can sometimes lead to longer-term friendships. The two families met by chance in Tahiti during the 80s and stayed in touch over the years that followed.

After lunch, Emilie decided to put her feet in the Pacific. Judging by the speed at which she headed in the opposite direction (see picture below), I think that it must have been a bit cold.
