Hello, San Diego

...Continued from yesterday:
    
On Tuesday, January 2, it was good-bye to the Los Angeles palm trees and hello to the San Diego palm trees,
Picture
...which are also lovely.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    I met up with my sister Romaine who flew down from Portland, our plan being to spend a few days seeing the San Diego sights.
Picture
     We stayed in Imperial Beach, a beautiful beach city on the Mexican border.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    From the beach extended a pier,
Picture
Picture
...which offered panoramic views of sea and shore.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     We stayed at Pier South, a hotel along the beach.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Our room was on the fourth floor and had a bedroom, which Romaine slept in,
Picture
...and a living room with a very comfy pull-out-bed couch which I slept on.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
 The view of the pier from our balcony at sunset.
Picture
Picture
...and of the beach houses at night.
Picture
​     The view from outside our door.
Picture
     As we arrived at Imperial Beach several hours before check-in time, we decided to first seek out some lunch. By fortunate happenstance we found down the block from our hotel a great little restaurant called the Coronado Brewing Company that served the best food.
Picture
   We started with an appetizer of artichoke dip which was most delicious, though we'd never before seen such green artichoke dip.
Picture
Romaine had the Grilled Fish Tacos with slaw,
Picture
...while I had the Seared Ahi Tacos with fries. Everything was soooo goood!
Picture
     After lunch we walked around the beach for a while, then drove around San Diego for a while.
Picture
Picture
Picture
   We returned to Imperial Beach and checked into Pier South in time for the hotel’s free-hor's d'ouevres-and-wine happy hour on the 5th floor terrace overlooking the ocean.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​  Then we walked around the town a bit looking for a spot for dinner,
Picture
​…and opted to return to the Coronado Brewing Company where we ate lunch, since the food was so good there.
Picture
Romaine had the Turkey Panini with slaw,
Picture
…and I had a truly awesome Greek salad. .
Picture
   After dinner we walked a little more,
Picture
​…then returned to Pier South,
Picture
Picture
​…and planned the following day’s itinerary.
Picture
To be continued...
