San Diego Otra Vez

Mom and I were up to San Diego again this weekend. We had a group to deliver to the airport on Saturday afternoon, and someone to pick up Sunday morning at the airport. San Diego is starting to become VERY familiar. In fact, I get a feeling of deja vu every time we drive from the border to the airport and back. So here are some pictures from our trip.

Heading North from Vicente Guerrero, on Saturday morning, we saw the fog laying low around the mountains. This is around the town San Vicente, an hour north of our town.


South of Ensenada, the main highway turns into a two-lane road as it drives through valleys and winds around mountains.

Our beautiful (cough) late-80s 12 passenger van got a little nick from a rock a few weeks ago:

We stopped at La Bufadora, an attraction southwest of Ensenada. The main attraction is 'la bufadora' or 'the blowhole', which is at the end of a street with lots of shops and restaurants.
It wasn't spouting very much when we were there.

Also, we were there pretty early, so it was not crowded, which was a definite plus:
Up after Ensenada, the road goes out more towards the ocean, and as it winds around the mountains you get a great view of the Pacific. Of course it was overcast and foggy when we were there.

We made it to San Diego and dropped off the group at the airport. Afterward Mom and I enjoyed a nice walk along the harbor and dinner there. They have a great display of different ships, and sometime I'd love to go and tour all of them. But, here's what resembles a pirate ship. It was built in 1863!


The government building across the street is in a great art deco style. I love art deco stuff, so I had to take a picture.

You see these around town, apparently contraptions you can ride and they go into the water. They just look so funny driving around town.

The Santa Fe train station.

We're always trying to find signs to I-5!

I think this is the Coronado bridge?

The San Diego airport! Destination of all great travelers. (by the way, this is Terminal 2 in case you were wondering).

We picked up our guest and headed straight back into Mexico this morning. This is my favorite sign between Tijuana and Ensenada. This exit is on a windy part of the highway right on some cliffs that look really dangerous. "Salsipuedes" translates to mean "Exit if you can".


This is the tourist part of town, a few blocks deep of restaurants and shops.
And, then there's the other side of Ensenada, less than a mile away.


Mom and I are headed back to San Diego on Tuesday! I hope to take some pictures at the border, in case you are wondering what that insanity looks like.
