Awake: 6:30am Temp 56 sleep 6+36 sunny overnight @ San Diego, CA.
Last Wednesday when we drove downtown to walk the town, we didn't do a very good job of it, & ended up running out of time & not seeing much. One good thing came of it however; during our short visit to the Brookstone store, the young girl we were talking with suggested that next time, just park in the Horton Plaza underground parking facility & get your parking ticket validated. It's good for (3) hrs of free parking.
It worked like a charm; counting our drive & parking time, we were out walking the streets within (20) min. Our self walking tour began @ Macy's & the big clock.
Walking west on G Street we cross to the north & admire some high rise condos & the beginning of the Martin Luther King Jr. walkway, pond, promenade and Children's Park,
From here, we walked a little further north to the Santa Fe Depot & the Coaster AMTRAK Train. The light rail system also feeds into this connection.
The Cruse Ship Terminal is just across the street from the Amtrak Station.
Still walking north, check out this beautiful Palm tree trim work.
Then we went (1) block east until we came to Little Italy. Oh my gosh, my picture is ruined! Where did that UPS truck come from?
In this city, parking meters are everywhere for autos; motorcycles & motor scooters have their own parking spaces without meters. Keep that in mind Ray.
From Little Italy, we went (1) block south & then turned west on a different street for (7) blocks. We continued block walking for another (4) complete rounds & then it was time to get outta town.
Rush hr was near so we headed up to Hillcrest, location of Trader Joe's & Ralph's grocery stores. After a quick purchase of Organic milk, yogurt, etc., we were heading north on I-5 to Mission Bay RV Resort.
It was an interesting & fun exercise to do; we hope to squeeze in another afternoon & finish walking the downtown areas of San Diego. We walked (5.2) miles total.
Back in our motorhome, Nick called & talked with Kathy about a glitch with her Apple computer. Glitch is not rectified yet.
I spent some more time cleaning up my disk with the speed getting more favorable.
Dinner: Beef top sirloin roast, brown rice, asparagus, whole wheat bread & Cutie oranges.
No movie tonight.
Lights out: 12:04am.
