Beaches Beaches Beaches

Mission Beach is Jan and Mikey's favorite beach and I can understand why. This beach seems to have it all. Sun, sand, rolling waves, sunbathers, t-shirt and more shops, places to eat and drink and rows of homes and apartments to rent. It seems that most everyone is jogging or walking, biking or skate boarding and the ever present suffer. For some reason I just can't resist taking pictures of these surfers. Of course the 'true' surfer looking guys are way more fun to look at and this one just does not fit that bill but oh well. David and I walking our way down the beach.

Pacific Beach is very nice as well. For some reason my camera was not out and I didn't get any pictures but I did get myself a nice sweatshirt and David got a hat:)

Silver Strand Beach is so close that we are able to ride our bikes to it....in fact Jan and I did just that. We watched this fella enjoying the wind para sailing and walked along picking up a few shells her and there. The shells here are much different than the ones on Isla, these seem to be much bolder in color...I have not a clue why that would be.

Along the bike trail we saw what we are sure are loons. This must be a winter time spot for our northern loons. Who can blame them given this is one of the few US places that has the most consistent enjoyable weather.

Ocean Beach. Yet another wonderful San Diego beach. This is one of the piers that Mikey and David may wet a line.

This pelican had some wonderful color and he was happy to show it off.

Waiting for the perfect wave. Everywhere you go here you see people enjoying the water in one form or another. It is a great place this San Diego!

Suffice it to say that I love it here and it is so far my favorite spot of the trip. There really is just so much to see and do and most of it involves close proximity to the ocean or just being outdoors. And nope I do not miss our little island of Isla Mujeres as of yet.
