Cousin Kathy (Dunne Gagne McManamy), from Springfield and now Plum Island, joined me for several days this week and it was a wonderful pleasure to spend time with her and show her some of the sights in sunny San Diego.
She had time to avoid my patented San-Diego-County-in-A-Day Tour, which can be difficult for all but the most hearty. Then again, she saw much more, as we expanded the range of possibilities in three days of serious touring.
Here’s an album of photos from Day One of her visit, which started in La Jolla.
Lunch at Herringbone, featuring 100+-year-old olive trees.
Geisel Library at UC San Diego, named after Theodore Geisel, native of Springfield. Shot also includes house that fell from space, imbedding into the building in rear. Uh, it’s an “art” installation.
Puff fish are another motif at Herringbone.
The design district in Solana Beach
At the end of a busy day in the Larry Kenah commemorative chair at Stone Brewery & Bistro, Escondido.
Day Two was spent at the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. There will be another gallery of zoo pics. These include Kathy.
Riding the aerial tram above San Diego Zoo, with the Museum of Man at Balboa Park in the distance.
Her second visit to the Old Globe. Her first was to the first.
By the reflecting pool, Balboa Park.
Finishing up the evening at In-n-Out.
Day Three, to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Borrego Springs, Salton Sea, and Julian.
In the park, above Borrego Springs.
Getting close to one of the prehistoric inhabitants. . . . It’s also an art thing.
Venturing out on the “beach” to reach the sea.
The surface was “tentative.”
Ooops! One leg down to the knee.
She got out relatively easily, but had to work to get her flip-flop.
Mud bath, just like Calistoga!
Finishing the labyrinth at the Borrego Springs Episcopal Church, in 101-degree heat.
