San Diego old and new

It was a beautiful day, even by local standards. Today, I did a city hop on/off bus tour. Starting in Old Town, the first settled area, went around the harbour, went around the modern city, went over to ritzy Coronado (a tied island) and went back via the Mexican and Italian quarters.
Highlights were the 2hrs I spent on the retired Midway carrier and its historic aircraft collection. The Aviation and Aerospace Museum is full of nice stuff. A museum guide who picked me out as someone who knew about such things took me on a personal tour, showing me some of the aircraft he helped restore. I have a LOT of aircraft, naval, military stuff images. At the end of the trip I went to an outdoor Mexican restaurant/bar with dancers, had a proper tasty chicken burrito, not that Gomez crap in Aus, a Cerveca and a Marguerita. It was a big day, I met some nice people, walked about 8km, which is much, much further than I ever thought I could and the most in 10 years?! I'm tired, a bit sore, but not hurt.
That house (fairy tale look) on Coronado, sold 8 years ago for 19 mill and is being gutted and restored by the owner.
The photo showing a beach and distant hills? Those hills are in Mexico and buildings on the beach is Tijuana.Read more
