We stayed at a very convenient and fancy hotel in San Diego, but from now on our accommodation will be a bit more characterful or sometimes we are just booked into chain motels.
The Hotel lobby.
Outside the hotel. In the foreground is the Seaport Headquarters.
The harbour view from our room.
City view from our room.
San Diego's version of light rail, the trolley cars. They are very popular here. In the background is the railway station called the Santa Fe Depot.
The walk around the harbour is interesting. In the background is USS Midway, the Aircraft Carrier Museum.
These sculptures, Our Silences, have been travelling and installed in cities all over the world.
A massive sculpture of the famous kiss at the end of WW2.
It looks fantastic lit up at night.
Bob Hope entertaining the troops.
Bill struggling to finish his meal at the famous "Fillipes Pizza Grotto" in Little Italy.
What do you know, a lot of the rail track is still running along the beach.
On this bit the road is closer.
We had a few hours before catching the overnight train to Albuquerque, so we went to El Pueblo de Los Angeles, dating back to 1781. This is the Our Lady Queen of Angles Church and next to it is Olvera Street which was named in 1877. It has been a Mexican Marketplace since 1930.
Los Angeles City Hall.
Bill enjoys a tasty Po Boy in a Lousiana style deli/cafe.
The Californian hills from our sleeper window.
We woke up (after not much sleep) in Arizona.
Almost there! The hills of New Mexico.
San Diego looks like a nice city. Will have to get there some time. Looking forward to the next instalment. Haven’t seen any pictures of mum yet!
