she only looks alone, there were several others spread around under the boardwalk in groups.

they are cool, and self-cleaning once the user leaves.

I've never used one, but from what I'm told, they completely wash themselves once you leave.

they are so sweet until they open their mouths and that croaking bark sounds forth. What a disconnect, still, I adore them.

I didn't see his actual ascent, so I couldn't say, but there were a number of them up there, obviously a regular gathering place. I think more he climbed than jumped , I doubt high tide would have been enough to allow them access. That doesn't help much, does it?

there is an adjacent staircase, the one we used to get down below the boardwalk so maybe...?

I love sea lions, they're so Zen really.

The toilets are great, the interiors are self-cleaning once the occupant leaves and the city does a nice job keeping up the exteriors :D

are you not seeing the sea lion, all curled up against the post?
