Our first sea lion spotting!

I love when I gather information from other tourists and locals.
Someone was telling me about the sea lions "down the street".
We strolled down to the pier to find them, and we got a big surprise!
We didn't find many, but we found this one!
He let us know pretty quickly that he just didn't want to be bothered!

This is as close as he would allow us.
Still pretty close!
What was he doing on the walkway, anyway!

Sunning and scratching. The rough life indeed.

He is saluting us! Or something. :)
