Another San Diego Day

Today, Lyn picked me up and took me around to a couple of different areas of the city including Fiesta Island.  


Though Lyn had always understood that overnight camping was not allowed on the island but from the number and the look of the rigs we both figured that the city was not too serious about enforcing any rules.  Personally I am glad to have my RV park with electric, clean shiny bathhouse and good laundry.



We drove up to Point Loma and the military facilities there.


And the cemetery with the million dollar view.




And from the Cabrillo National Monument ....a view of the naval yard and the distant city skylines.



The Visitors Center had neat hands on displays for the children and occasional gray haired ladies....

This was an example of the chain mail and helmets.




Looking over towards the city.


Admiring the coloring in the squirrel's coat.




Driving around the city  we saw many rigs parked in the public lots. It was hard to think that they all just showed up for the day.




This shot is for a friend, BJ.  Lyn said that most of the taller buildings in San Diego have been built in the last twenty years.  Thought, BJ, would want to see the difference.  Lyn's condo is down town and near the new city library.


The library parking lot is under ground. You get two hours of parking free before you have to pay.  As you exit the elevator on the ground floor you get to see this.


Lyn can put in requests for books from her home computer and then come in and pick up her book/s from the "hold" selves.


Then she simply walks over to the self check out station and the books are ready to walk out the door with you.


A view from the top of the library.


A view of some of the San Diego homeless from the top of the library.  San Diego's gentle weather makes being homeless easier to survive temperature wise.


Lyn is on the move again. She is like an energizer bunny.


A Lego rendition of the new library.


This photo is for Mitch. Lyn and I just wanted her to know we were thinking of her.......



I got back to the puppers and the rig in time for a late lunch and five loads of laundry and a couple of dog walks..... Tomorrow is another day.
