Balboa Island: 4th of July, etc.

After leaving Zuma we headed to a very early dinner and took a nap. From there we drove down along Newport Beach in awe at how lively the area was. Hundreds of people were riding bikes around town, walking the streets, and crowding the restaurants, and most of them seemed to be around our age. For about an hour we drove around looking for a parking spot to no avail, but we got to see Newport's peninsula and Balboa Island, the setting for the tv series of our trip, Arrested Development. Now we have moved on down the coast to Laguna Beach, and we are waiting for a fireworks show to begin. Happy 4th,
