Awake: 7:43am Temp 55 sleep 7+04 sunny overnight @ San Diego, CA.
@ 9:30am, we drove over to Sallie & Larry's campsite, changed cars & rode with them to Pacific Beach & had a great breakfast @ "The Eggery Etc."
Afterward, we strolled down the ocean side & then headed east & walked along the Sail Beach. That was about it for our walking this morning. Larry still has a sensitive toe that he is babying.
Next stop, the Needle Craft Cottage where Sallie & Kathy analyzed the patterns & yarns inside. Then to the Bank of America where we cashed a few small checks, & finally a stop @ Trader Joe's for a few groceries.
Back @ Larry & Sallie's campground, K & I visited briefly with Lee & Ken just across the street from L & S.
Back @ our motorhome, Katrina called & we both talked with her about her activities & adventures for a quick (55) min. She was on her way to meet a friend & they are going to a dinner theatre in Boulder to see, "Singing in the Rain."
Later, my sister Mary Jo called from Lodi; we chatted for (44) min covering both their kids & our kids & grandkids & other miscellaneous things.
Next K & I drove our Suzuki to downtown San Diego, found a parking spot & casually start walking around. For a Thursday night, there are people everywhere & many of the sidewalks are filled with outdoor dining areas.
We arrived early just to do some looking around before meeting up with our ole Alaska friends. They are in town for a few days before they leave on a cruise, departing from San Diego. After walking around for (5 or 6) blocks, we are convinced that we need to visit downtown during the day & thoroughly do a walking tour of this place.
About 6:20pm, we entered Croce's Restaurant & before our eyes, all but (2) of our gang of (8) were just taking seats. Friends from Alaska & friends from our 2005 Asian Pacific Cruise + (2) more we haven't met yet. We had a lot of catching up & reminiscing to do which occurred during & after our wine time. Finally the (2) late comers arrived & our meals are on order.
K & I shared a filet mignon with two side orders + a Caesar salad. We were having so much fun just talking with each other during our wine time & meal time....that was, until the music started; then we could barely hear what was said by someone two seats away.
Once outside, we attempted to find a small café for coffee & enjoy some more gabbing. That wasn't easy as most of the café's we looked into, were crowded & also noisy. By chance we ended up on the 2nd floor of a Starbucks where we hung around & closed up the place. It really was a cozy little reunion & I must admit, we all looked pretty good for our senior ages.

Lights out: 1:24am.
