Catalina Island

This album post is actually still part of my Socal photo adventures from way back.  We got to visit this small  island off the coast of Los Angeles when we joined a yearly Canon event called "Canon Captures Catalina" in September 2009.

Catalina harbor and Casino
Trivia: the "casino" above is not really a casino.  It is actually called a "casino" because the original Italian definition of casino meant "social gathering place" not a place for gambling.

Catalina Island is accessible via daily ferry from Long Beach or Dana Point in Orange County.
