Howdy there!
Well here we were (David & I)- on the west coast for the first time. My first instinct was to see the ocean!!
So after breakfast we were off- to check out San Diego, find some of the places we wanted to see, and to find the beaches!!
The motel, we were staying at was in southern San Diego. As a matter of fact we were only 3 miles from the Mexico border! So everything we wanted to see was north of us.
The 1st thing we found was Silver Strand Beach. It was a great beach very long… once parked I had my sandals off and was heading to the water! LOL- Everyone else on the beach was trying to avoid the water (probably to cool of a day for them - in the 60’s) but not for me. The water was wonderful. The waves here were pretty good size considering there was no storm in the area.
After playing in the surf for awhile and looking for shells…we were off again.
We drove thru downtown San Diego. Making notes of where certain things and streets were. So when we came back on Sunday to start using the “Go Card”, we’d know which way to go. We found a parking area (there are several) along the harbor. We stopped to get pictures of the city and of the art work that we saw there. We spent most of that day just driving around- taking pictures and getting a feel for the city. We then went a bit further outside the city and found Imperial Beach. This is a very nice beach/area. Lots to do and see- with a great fishing pier. We took a walk out to the end- watching the local surfers doing their thing, the wild life and did some people watching too. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day!
We finished off the day by getting some pizza for dinner from Eastside Pizza. It was very yummy!
Ok off to get the pictures for this entry ready….see you all soon- Love Donna
