Date men and women from United States / California / Solana Beach, 68 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I've retired from the horse racing industry and
now spend much of my time in the research
and display of classic French automobiles and
vintage racing cars (1950-1970).
I live near the shore and try to divide my life
between enjoying the beach and a rescue dog
named "Daisy".
Pleasant dinners out and quiet evenings in are
just fine with me.
I'd like to return to Europe in the near future,
miss Paris.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am energetic, adventurous, an honest, loyal and sincere friend. I love to hike the San Elijo Lagoon, Boogie Board and body surf (once the ocean temperature is above 69 degrees), do yoga, garden, play tennis, walk on the beach holding hands with someone I love at sunset, sit on the bluff looking at the beach with a nice glass of wine any time, watching the sun rise or set in the mountains, desert or over water and living by the beach. I laugh a lot and particularly enjoy laughing with friends. I'm very romantic and would hope that you are, too. I am 66 years old, but feel, look and act much younger. I love a fireplace and a great book to curl up with on a rainy day..unless there is something more interesting to do. I enjoy being quiet, too....I began teaching yoga last summer and find I'm loving sharing something so valuable to my life.
I would like to meet a nice man who enjoys live music (like Humphrey's summer concerts - Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, anyone?), and theatre (like the Old Globe or North Coast Rep), bicycling up or down the coast, BBQ-ing on the patio and having friends over for an evening. I would like to know that you are sincerely looking for and who you truly are. I am very interested in a someone between 55-70 years old, who is financially secure, enjoys living actively, is respectful (of himself and others), enthusiastic about life, sincere and at ease with himself and looking for someone special. A man who enjoys going out for a quiet dinner at a nice place or fixing dinner together at home to eat in front of the fire in winter and on the bluff in summer watching the sunset. Not a man just to be or live with.... but one I cannot live without!!
Family is important to me. Both sons sons live in California. We so enjoy each others' company, laughing, talking, cooking, beaching it, celebrating life or a taking a walk in Balboa Park. I have recently returned from I would hope your family is equally important.
holidays spent in Germany with part of my family and we loved day-trips to Munich and Innsbruck from Garmisch as well as hiking the PartnachKlamm and around the Zugstpitz glacier in new snow. I am so very fond of traveling, having lived in several lovely places around the world, I anticipate 2-3 trips and road trips each year if possible. And I am always so glad to return home to San Diego where I've lived much of my adult life, enjoy my friends and keep life as simple as possible, having fun doing it.
Let's chat! ...at the very least , let's email.... and meet to have our "one last date" when we realize that there indeed such a thing as "chemistry..."
