Heading South Tuesday morning the temperatures just kept climbing. Running down I-395 is boring at best and mind numbing at worst. When you are hit with temps of 106, it was too much. The mountains were beautiful, but after a few minutes, that is enough.
As soon as we hit the edge of civilization, we stopped for the night and cooled off and relaxed. The great thing about this kind of trip is, we can do whatever...
In the morning we headed up to the hills to a little place called Hell's kitchen. (the bar, not the restaurant)
An interesting place to be sure. They have a condiment bar in a coffin! This is the view on the way up. It is on Hwy 74 which is a majorly twisty road with a lot of switchbacks
After leaving there we wandered down through Murrieta and then hit I-15 and headed for San Diego. Lori had been praying for 90 degree weather and finally got it as we crested the hills by the coast. Who would have believed that 90 degree's would feel so good!
We got a room and wandered down to Seaport Village and through some shops before getting on a "SEAL" bus/boat for a tour. Interesting vehicle!
When we were in the water, one of the carriers came by on the way back in and we passed it. A lot of people were lining the deck.
There were a lot of tourist ships in the area. This is one of the Catamaran Booze cruises.
We went by Scripts docks and saw a lot of the Sea lions and went past the cages where the Navy was training dolphins.
Needless to say there was a lot of police presence in the area as the carrier was coming in.
I did not get a clear picture, but on interest, the city is building a full scale copy of the original sailing ship that came into San Diego harbor.
Well that is it for now. Tomorrow, we are riding the trolley around town and going on a walking tour of the nightlife and the history of the brothels in the area. Fun stuff... LOL
