Sights around San Diego, California Places Visited:

Long range fishing fleet operating out of the harbor on Scott Street in San Diego
Our next stop was the long range fishing fleet operating out of the harbor on Scott Street where we checked out prices for their long range trips 6 to 15 day trips to exotic spots off the coast of Mexico. Then it was on to Shelter Island and more marinas. Like Harbor Island Shelter Island is eye-candy. Wonderful Restaurants, a huge marina, landscaping fit for a king, generous parking and green spaces with abundant walking paths. From Shelter Island Joyce was able to take these pictures: NAS (Naval Air Station North Island) with one of the Nuclear Air Craft Carriers
This is NAS (Naval Air Station North Island) with one of the modern Nuclear Air Craft Carriers -the Ronald Reagan I think to the extreme left and the Coronado bridge connecting San Diego to Cronado seen as the blue arch stretching across the picture. From Shelter Island this view is to the south. Coronado Bridge across San Diego Bay that connects San Diego with Coronado
This view of the Coronado Bridge again looking south from the Shelter Island Marina complex shows not only the bridge but the extensive naval facilities and ships along the eastern shore of San Diego Bay.
Tourmaline Surfing Park between La Jolla and Pacific Beach, California
I had seen much of what we covered today while on business trips to San Diego but it was fun visiting the area again with Joyce. We particularly enjoyed the areas around La Jolla where the sea lions were sunning on the rocks and beach when not playing in the water. At one stop, Tourmaline Surfing Park between La Jolla and Pacific Beach we watched around 30-surfers all vying for shot at the nice waves forming down a chute. There were some very accomplished surfers plus a plethora of "board-riders". One of our favorite drives in La Jolla was Prospect Street. Prospect is one of those streets that reflect the trendy, upscale atmosphere of the expensive residential enclave of San Diego that La Jolla has become. La Jolla is Spanish for "Jewel" and that is exactly what La Jolla is. The area is much like an exclusive Mediterranean resort with a mix of expensive houses, exquisite boutiques, gourmet restaurants and grand hotels. The cliff-lined coast adds to this overall impression. When we were returning home around 7:30 tonight young people were crowded to the streets in front of those trendy restaurants and night clubs. Where on earth do young people get that kind of money? Until next time remember how good life is. More California AdventuresAdventures by State ** More 2005 Travel Adventures
