Part 2 On the Water
The beach was just down the street from the park.
It had everything you would expect. Sunshine, surf, surfers,
strolling, sunbathing (safely covered, I checked)
(here too)
Standing up on the curb I noticed a Mercedes was coming down the street. This is a 300 SEL 6.3 circa 1970 - quite valuable today and this one was pristine.
My college roommate Bob's dad bought one of these new and drove us down to their cabin on the Colorado River.
About 100 mph across the desert and the A/C was cold enough to create ice on the dash vents (or so it seemed at the time).
We hopped in the car and started spotting some nice rides.
This Hummer H1 was a surprise, and the little van at the curb was a JDM special import I think. But what's that down below on the cross street?
A baby-blue Cybertruck! Honestly?
Shaking our heads, we went on down to the Bay.
Yes, she was more or less covered in all the important places.
Lots of bikers, hikers, dog likers, etc.
Scooter riders.
Pelicans.
Water skiiers and wake boarders.

Galore.
My stomach says it's Time for Lunch. The Aqua Lung agrees.
Notice the Cybertruck rear wheels are able to turn to enhance parking and cornering.
Not just a blue wrap but a blue model to go with it.
I hope the back-up camera works on the Tesla because that Volvo would have no chance...
We stopped to pick up some food on the way home, and this bottle of wine looked interesting. Here's a test : Does anyone know what a Witness Mark is? (I do)
And at home there was a box on the porch, from a neighbor. Yay!
Thanks for coming along with us on this beautiful Spring day in San Diego.

High on the hill and down on the water, Part 1
We drove to a park we'd never visited before, and were quite charmed by the first few sights. Such as this rock / succulent arrangement right at the sidewalk, and a bunch of bananas (not quite ripe enough), and a gorgeous flower. Does it say TROPICAL loud...

watching and envying the surfers, no doubt. ...

The second shot of the surfer....
is postcard quality. The quintessential SoCal image.... Witness Mark? Mist be similar to a watermark....
The blue Cybertruck really took me by surprise!
The surf culture in SD must be lively and robust š
Oh yes, we have surfers and wanna be surfers galore
Iām a used-to-be, wanna-be surfer but actually I prefer body surfing ā¦ more swimming less paddling and no boards messing up my cars.
Great pics Mike! A trip down memory lane for me. I've also noticed that blue wrapped Cyber Truck and have taken numerous breaks at that cement bench on that elevated
bike path on bike rides. The trunk of that pine tree makes it difficult to peg that JDM van but I think it's either a Mitsubishi Delica 4WD or a Toyota Hi-Ace 4WD. Both are usually turbo diesel and both are very desirable! Thanks for the inspiration to ge...
I knew this was near your former neighborhood (and/or current digs)
Glad you enjoyed the trip! Maybe you have seen this too: Up-market street campers, with new Winnebago / Sprinter van, 3 dogs, motorcycle and the usual piles of debris spread around... 3rd dog in front of the van, not shown š ...
Thanks for all your wonderful San Diego pics...
We'll be visiting there in June. Friends are in Coronado.
Coronado is beautiful
Beaches surrounding it, and lovely homes. A nice place to visit with a smaller-town feel. My mom lived there for 6-7 years.
