San Diego ~ Revisited

by Pawtuxet - last update: Jan 27, 2009

OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO

THE ESSENCE OF OLD SAN DIEGO
Our visit to San Diego was prompted by my son, Hans (aka. Dutch). He's lived in the city of his birth for about two years now. It was high time for a vist. Also wanted to see some old friends who are still in the area. Our journey included jaunts to several old haunts that held fond memories. Therefore my highlights may be quite different from those of the tourist on a sunny vacation. Hope you enjoy the San Diego that I visited.

Views from the hillsides.....

Here we look from the hillside at the Presidio across the innumerable lanes of freeways towards life and water beyond.....

Numerous beaches with multiple personalities

It was January in Rhode Island, and we came home to a blizzard....but in La Jolla the surf was up and the surfers were having a great time. Some were body surfing. There were dolfins spotted a little way off shore. The temp was around 75 - 78 degrees while we were there. It cools off at night enough for a sweater or light jacket. Some call it "ideal weather conditions".

 I just visited SD recently with my sister. We roamed Coroando again and the Gaslamp Quarters with my great nephew. We had a very nice time. I enjoyed your lovely tips. Thank you!

 I've been looking at the pps of S.D. and reliving my youth. The changes have been heartwarming since it began to fall down a few decades ago. I was stationed there & at Delmar for mny yrs btwn roaming the earth with the Corps. Thks for the mmries.
