San Diego ;) I Like it!

I was not the happiest or very excited to go to San Diego but I am here now and as always It is awesome! I am in a swanky hotel (http://www.loewshotels.com/en/Hotels/San-Diego-Resort/Overview.aspx). The weather is not warm and toasty as I had hoped but it is nice. I ran into a couple of people i know at the airport who were also headed here :) hooray...

We rented bikes after we arrived. We rode them about 5 miles into the center of the island, had lunch, and then rode them back again. Along the way we traveled along a bike path with the ocean on one side and the bay on the other. We had lunch at a New York Pizza place where I shared a calzone with one of the people I ran into-i ate the insides out and it went down quite nicely. We had a nice mathy/education conversation over lunch (OK I am flying my nerd flag). and then headed back to the hotel.

Our return trip was through neighborhoods and then back to the bike path. There were several houses for sale that were nice looking (but not huge-say 3 bedroom, 3 bath and 2000 square feet). One had a flier advertising it for 4.6 million!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy expensive here! We made a stop at the beach and hung out for a few minutes picking shells. The beach bulldozes a hunk of sand into berms along the beach front and in those berms are loads of shells. I picked up a really cool long snail shell and some scallop ones. We then got back on and rode back to the hotel.

Now I am sitting in the lobby in the bar with...FREE INTERNET! At least in the states swanky hotel and fee internet do not go together. I am one happy camper right now. a nice bar, vodka and orange juice and internet...is there anything better than that? ;) OK there probably is but right now..just now in the peace of this bar I am content.

Oh and the thin ability to ride a bike and sit on an airplane with no problems (I even had to tighten the seatbelt!!)...oh can you tell today was a good day? Today was a very good day.
