We made it to San Diego! Yay! We left Walnut Creek around 7:30 in the morning and headed straight down to San Diego. California's economic crisis was evident on most of our trip. We started out traveling back roads in order to avoid a potential rush hour traffic jam. The road was bent, buckled, potholed, and partially patched--yet still very popular. Even I-5 was quite rough in several places. On more than one occasion our car bobbed and weaved, bounced and wobbled. For the first time I was a bit worried about my 12 year old car--until I saw someone driving a bent, rusted hulk of a station wagon manufactured around the 1950's. I've got a great car; no more complaints. (Don't worry, Mary; I'm taking good care of it.)
We arrived in San Diego around 4:30. Our quaint little hotel is located on the Pacific Hwy just across from Old Town--San Diego's birthplace. We walked over to Old Town to enjoy a nice Mexican dinner (thanks for the suggestion, Anne) and then took a walk around the area. The temperatures are in the upper 60's. Mary reported to me that Seattle is just a few degrees warmer. Somehow that figures.
We haven't quite figured out what we are doing tomorrow. Stay tuned!
