Laguna Beach, California...

out in Laguna Beach looking for a xmas time rental and came upon, the ultimate "crummybutgood"..the Pelican cafe and Malt shop..on the main drag..S.coast highway, number 981...family owned for 40 someodd years...tattooed "waiter", really couldnt call him that..more like the jokester and partner and owner with a delightful lady whose name I didnt catch...but there we were at 7:30 in the morning on Labor day...I had a ham omelete and fresh squeezed o.j.!!! and barb had a chile omelet which she said was great...the test always is the home fries and they were good as well..the coffee was hot and the ambience was terrible, as it should be!!!...hope we can find a place for xmas reasonably so we can go back and have breakfast again and again...
