CRYSTAL PIER IN PACIFIC BEACH

THE HOTEL WE STAYED IN THE FIRST TIME TO PACIFIC BEACH


Well, yesturday was a grand day....again. The 4 of us travelled south to Pacific Beach, which is the northern part of San Diego. NO FREEWAYS! Took the coast road all the way, although all the way is only about 45 minutes which is stretching it. Walked the boardwalk which was just hopping with people and took a stroll on the Crystal Pier. Fell in love with this pier when we were here before because it is so quaint. It is an old wooden one (which shifts terribly with the surf) and houses, exactly that....houses. Little ones that they rent out for an atrocious amount of money. Mega buckeroos! We had a good chuckle though as a herd (actually 4) young fellas were strolling all over the pier and the boardwalk in just their speedos. They were photographed much more than the beach! We had lunch at a wonderful restaurant right on the beach and took our time coming home on all the back roads winding around all the incredible homes on the water. Wow, how spectacular the whole area is. Stopped at the market in La Jolla and of course shopped but the prices were terrible, at least double what we would pay here.
Sue and I actually got a chance to dig out the paints when we got home and played for a couple of hours. I am in awe of her talent. She whipped right in there and created a masterpiece. Will have to show and tell when we get home. We havn't decided what wonderous events we will partake in today, but you can rest assured I will regale you with the details later.
Have a great day. Till we meet again!
