| In San Diego for a conference. The hermit crab races were a highlight. It was that kind of conference. |
 |
| I got to see one of my favorite parts of California, that is, the pelicans. |
 |
| Lucha libre/siga la lucha. |
 |
| Historic Old Town San Diego. My European co-worker, who had never been to the U.S., was unimpressed by any of the "historic" parts of California that we visited, acting perplexed that furniture that could be in her grandparents' house could be placed in a museum. On Old Town, her remark was "it's like Disneyland. It's all a lie." |
 |
| A beach in Coronado. |
 | |
| The Hotel Del Coronado, conference site and lodging to the stars. My co-worker's remark about the lodgers, one of whom she saw hand a 50 to a valet, was "they're all drug dealers". We stayed in the HoJo as the Del would have exceeded our per diem... |
 |
| A bird rescuer brought some of his charges to Seaport Village. Obviously they were a lot cooler than anything else on offer. |
 |
| A Coronado beach |
 |
| Arches inside of Balboa Park, definitely our favorite visit. |
 |
| Botanical gardens of Balboa Park. |
