San Diego, Ca Part one



The journey down to the coast to passes through Compton and Long Beach which you gangster rap fans will know as major gang land areas of L.A, it is slightly disappointing to note that they look a bit like a sunnier version of Digmoor. Out of the city, the journey becomes much more beautiful as the Coast Highway runs along side the magnificent Pacific ocean and the heat begins to rise.

San Diego is absolutely stunning, bright clean and a feeling of real safety. The area has a massive naval base which makes it feel quite conservative and middle class but it also has a huge population of Mexican migrants, students and surfers. The attitude of people seem quite at odds with the rest of the country and it seems much more laid back.

Our hotel is located about ten minutes in a cab from downtown & Sandra picked it for our stay based on the fact that it's name contains elements from both of our surnames.
