Brunch at San Clemente, CA – September 3, 2009

I accompanied a friend of mine to the town of San Clemente for an early morning meeting. Afterwards we took a look around the town. We drove by the coast and walked around.

First we went to a public beach. More than the water, what fascinated us were the soft sand “rock” formations around an area near the parking lot. The eerie formations looked like they belonged at a desert than the beach.

The above was a pathway to some grotto which even had a statue of Mother Mary…

Next to the dessert-like area were train tracks for a commuter train…

We then proceeded to the town proper to look for some brunch.

Nice town. Very “seaside community” feel.

We stopped at this local place called La Galette Seaside Cafe’ (website) which served… crepes.

Ramil ordered the “Berry Feast”

I ordered this Chicken Salad called “Chicken Fuji”… according to the menu “Chunks of White Meat Chicken Breast, Crisp Apples & Gorgonzola cheese tossed with a hazelnut dressing.”

After eating we walked around the pier taking in the sights.
