Friday 15th~~~~Today we rode the trolley, transferred to a bus and we went to Coronado Beach. The transit system here is so nice, we bought a months pass for $16.00. It makes sight seeing so nice, as we don't have to find a place to park the big truck and it sure saves on the fuel. Sharon takes a book to read and Kent enjoys the ride not having to drive. There are people from every walk of life on the trolley and bus. A lot of them you can tell are workers coming or going to work as they look so tired. It makes one real thankful for the blessings we have, right down to the smallest things. We find it quite interesting to sit and listen to some of the conversations around us and some of the people are so nice and tell you neat things about San Diego. We got off at Coronado Beach and we walked the boardwalk and went into some of the shops. The boardwalk is so neat and the condo's along it are very nice. We wondered through the "Hotel Del Coronada" (picture) and shopped the gift shop before going out to the boardwalk there. It is a very old hotel in San Diego built in 1886 and there are pictures all over in it of the famous movie stars who stayed there. It was the " in" place for them to go to and it is still very nice and spendy. Where the boardwalk ends is a restricted area along the beach where the government has it guarded and the Navy Seals do their practicing on the beach and in the water.(picture)The day was cooler than yesterday, but we enjoyed our walk and the people. We have a lot of fun watching the different class of people and how they act and dress.
By the time we got on the bus, it was getting pretty cool and dark. We came home pretty tired and Sharon cooked a great spaghetti dinner.
