Point Loma

Wayne at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

We moved into a Sheraton in San Diego proper in order to catch a 6:15am flight.  The hotel and airport are very near Point Loma Peninsula so we drove up to the tip where the Cabrillo National Monument is.  It's a fairly simply park that commemorates the landing of Juan Cabrillo, the first European to explore California.  The views of San Diego Bay and surrounding areas are vast and lovely.  On the west side of the Peninsula is Sunset Cliffs Natural Park.  Here was yet another gorgeous coast with soaring cliffs and brave, brave, brave young people hopping around and hanging off those cliffs.  

Tonight we had the funniest dinner.  There comes a point when waiting for a restaurant dinner to be served that one instinctly thinks, "This is a long wait". Then a little later one says aloud, "This is way too long a wait."  Then one starts shifting in the chair, glaring at the waiter, finally standing.  At that point the waiter comes over and says, "Let me check."  (which he should have noticed and done already without our encouragement).  Turns out the order was never begun.  Then, about 10 minutes later my burger shows up.  The waiter asks, "anything else?"  I say, "Yes! Wayne's order".  The short version is Wayne did finally get his order.  The waiter refused to charge us. (he got his tip).  We were laughing so hard by then.  What else can you do?  Pics of the day at Flickr.
