San Diego

Arrived yesterday evening in sunny San Diego, which I didn't realise is only 15 miles from the Mexican border. Its a real contrast to the blandness of Dallas.Warm weather, wide beaches, palm trees and mountains. Had a free day today so with the help of a friendly taxi driver had a good look around



One of the highlights was Coronado Island which has a strong association with Marilyn Munroe. It was at the famous Del Coronado Hotel where 'Some Like it Hot' was filmed - one of my favourite films. it was also popular with the Kennedys and it was at this hotel where JFK - him again - was rumoured to have had an affair with her.



There's loads to see and do in San Diego and it has a real holiday feel to it. Southern California would be a great place for a family holiday. You never know we might go one day.

Am staying at a fancy golf resort called the Double Tree Golf Resort and had a really pleasant jog around the course, trying to avoid all the golf buggies. Shame I've got to work tomorrow, Will have a quiet night in and listen to the Archers omnibus edition on my laptop.
