Notes from San Diego

[nibot]

Drove down the old US-101 through the little beach towns all the way to San Diego yesterday. In the vanagon with the windows down and a Beatles tape playing and with the most California Dream scenery possible passing by. Watched paragliders and hanggliders climb up in the ocean breeze at the Gliderport. Stopped at the beach in Oceanside, saw the sunset from Cabrillo National Monument. Orangina at the always-open Lestat's Cafe in endearing-as-ever Normal Heights, followed by a quiet tea at an Ethiopian place down the street. Slept in the van on the side of Torrey Pines Rd. Today: Swim with the sharks at La Jolla Shores. Mexico?

What else should we do/see in San Diego?

I have three recommended resturants - the Brocton Villa in La Jolla, off of Prospect. (take the curvy road down toward the beach (first right after light), look for giant shells in the concreate retianing wall and look up. Wonderful views, great coffee, good food.

Bertha's SouthAmerican quisine, in Olde Town, across from the Great Wall resturant. Certified authentic.

Posiden's in Del Mar, right on the beach.

There are some cool museums in Balboa Park, including a model train.
The Zoo and the Wild Animal Park are both great (see the Wild Animal park if you only can do one, but its about a 30 min drive.

There is good jazz in the Gas Lamp district.
