Tour of California
Part one: Los Angeles

Part five: San Diego
Here is a collection of pictures from my recent trip to San Diego. I have only visited SD previously twice in my life, once when I was 12 and another time five years ago. Both times I didn't get to see much more than the waterfront and the zoo. The majority of these are taken by me, but, a few from my friend Kelly who joined me are also included where indicated. Hope you enjoy.
The fog welcomes us!
A little bit of San Diego sprawl before we land.
Trains and planes on the way to breakfast
Kelly enjoys her coffee at Hob Nob Hill, which is a very nice place for breakfast if you are ever in the neighborhood!
Balboa Park
Skyscraper hunting in downtown
A good portion of downtown, particularly away from the waterfront (and especially around the civic center area) is need of more redevelopment. But, has lots of potential.
Things get livier as you head towards Horton Plaza and the Gaslamp District
There's me - don't you love taking pictures of your friends taking pictures!?
Horton Plaza
Thanks Kelly for this one ^^
Glad to see they converted this old building for a Ralph's...
...Fits in well with the rest of the neighborhood
< < Kelly again
The preservation and adaptation of the old buildings in this area is incredible.
Waterfront condos and more
Not my favorite buildings, but, the Hyatt demands to be seen
Ok, one more...
Now we're talking...
I fell in love with this one the last time I was here
More trains...
On the Harbor
Once again, the Hyatt hogs the skyline
Finally, the sun come out!
One last shot of the city...and me thanks Kelly!
Now for a complete change of pace, next stop...Fresno
