Sunset Cliffs and Coronado

Yesterday I was able to meet up with Kashew as planned. We decided to go down to the shore and it was just beautiful!! The wind was a bit chilly, as you can tell, and soon the fog started coming in, but it was still beautiful. I love the shore... and the desert... and the mountains... and ........

Janet is still suffering from her foot injury so we couldn't walk much. So we spent most of our time at a restaurant and later at Starbucks and did LOTS of girl talk!

These cliffs are slowly but surely disappearing into the ocean. I love the wildness of the waves crashing against the rocks...

My brother, Carl, and his wife, Alice, invited me out to dinner tonight. It's hard to believe I've been here a week already and less then one week to go.

I'm slowly finding my way through this blog site. It'll still never compare to JS, but it's better then nothing. To make it easier for everyone to find people, if you're in my Fun Forum, just put the new blog address in your profile, preferably in the signiture. You can sort that list alphabetically to make it easier to find people. Oh, the signiture doesn't seem to show up unless you are signed in, that means only signed in members see it!!

I just got back from shopping for all sorts of goodies for my grandkids. I might get overweight just with their stuff! lol

The weather has turned so fantastic, I had to take advantage of it. I decided to drive to another favorite spot of mine, Coronado. On the beach there is this old hotel, all made of wood, which is an historic site.... and the place where "Some Like it Hot" with Marylin Monroe was filmed.

I don't go anywhere without my camera, and following the inspirations I have gotten from many (former) journalspacers like Doug, I looked for motives... and found some.

I took a walk along the boardwalk, breathed in the sea air, and did some people watching. Then I found this bunch of "Birds of Paradise"....

My days here in San Diego are getting short. Next Thursday I again board a jet plane to head back to Germany. It'll be quite a climate shoch... temps here expected to reach up to 86°F while in Germany we are having the worst cold spell since over 20 years, in my area around -5°F!!

Like most of you, I'm still fighting my way through this blogging site. I guess I'll get used to it, though there are still hopes that someone may revive the old JS!! Now wouldn't that be GREAT?
