Old Town, Mission Beach, and La Jolla

I fit a lot into my last day in San Diego. I used the bus to get around today. My first stop was Old Town San Diego. Lots of history about the city many years ago. My 2nd stop was Mission Beach. The first thing to catch my eye was the roller coaster in Belmont Park. I'm not a huge roller coaster fan but I did it anyway. It was very mild by today's roller coasters but it was the old wooded style, the kind that feel as though it might come unattached. I walked from Mission Beach to Pacific Beach along the cool water. No wonder those surfers had wetsuits on. Not as cold as Marshfield's beaches but still quite cold. I hopped the bus again and got off in La Jolla. The same place I had dinner with Kevin and Ann last night. The bus was headed that way so I got off for another look around. One thing I did notice is that everyone is active here. Maybe it's the weather, but people are always walking, running, biking, skateboarding, surfing, or playing soccer in the many parks they have here. It rained hard early this morning but cleared up to be a warm sunny day. To much sun, I need Bonnie here to make me use sunscreen.

My first day of Cycle 4 Cancer is tomorrow morning. I will bike from my hotel in downtown to what I call mile 0, which is at Ocean Beach. I will update this website whenever I have a wifi connection. I am using my new iPad mini and its working well so far. My next post will be from the road.
