(Glenn) Today we spent our time in the heart of San Diego. We are staying in the Gaslamp District and it is full of shops, restaurants, and nightlife. We seem to always be " out of gas" before we get to any nightlife. We boarded the hop on/hop off trolley for the city tour. We spent some time in Old Town San Diego where Cathy found a few deals. She is always at home in shopping areas. We also spent some time in Coronado Island and went in the famous Hotel Del Coronado. It was very impressive and the beach was spectacular. We took off our shoes and started walking toward the waves but Cathy bailed out soon because the sand was sooo hot. Well, about twenty more paces and I was running back in her direction. We never put our feet in the ocean today but we really enjoyed the view. I seemed to find the longest path to the bus this morning AND the longest path home tonight so Cathy said she is "revoking my scout license". It has been unusually hot here and we are exhausted so we will rest to do it again tomorrow.
(Cathy) yes I have revoked his license. I found a restroom prior to getting to the trolley stop. I get there and Glenn starts picking at my face and says "you have toilet paper all over your face and neck". I was just wet with sweat so I took extra toilet paper to wipe my face face. Who do I know?
Just for the record..vacation is not the time for losing weight. I'm just trying to stay in the same clothes I left in and walking miles each day helps. I'll work on it more when we get home. My huffing and puffing has gotten better but the heat really takes a toll.
Oh, we did see the Wizard of Oz House, the house Frank Baum liven in when he wrote Oz and couple of other books. And the BBQ joint that part of Top Gun movie was filmed. Really interesting city with lots of history.
