San Diego: the tour continues

The information that I recorded in one day is providing the content for this travel blog over a three day period for ease of writing and also, hopefully, to keep you coming back for more.

Sitting in the bay as we went past on the tour were two ships. One was the Star of India which has been around the world 21 times and the other was the USS Midway which now serves as a tourist attraction. Along the embarcadero is a sea side “village” which is actually just a tourist shopping area. Within the buildings is a carousel originally carved in 1895. The sea port village by the water front was build by Walt’s folks and has that plastic fantastic feel to it which is so Disney.

Jerry Lewis’ yacht was revealed to us as we passed the area. When we reached the convention centre, the driver pointed out that the cement structures out in front of the large building were replicas of waves to look more in keeping with the nautical theme. Cement waves on a gray overcast day, well perhaps.

The Dole packing plant and shipping yard were next and the fact that 12% of all bananas in the U.S. come through this area gave the driver cause for simulated astonishment.

In 1963 an artist began a protest against the proposed freeway and posted his reaction in graffiti art around the city. By 1969 the protest had a name, “border art”, and the leader was teaching at San Diego State University. One can still see the works that act as a border on the cement supports under the bridge where a local park has sprung up.

Coronado Island Hibiscus are giant

Coronado was the next destination and is truly artificial. It was an island created by dredging the bay. I spend most of a day there and walked from one end of the island where the ferry docked to the other beach which is gorgeous and favored by many families who live in the area. The entire ferry crossing was $7 and well worth the sense of exploration. Apparently, a bridge is in the works to span to the island in the near future. Many of the beautiful houses on the island were floated across the bay on barges. Giant hibiscus blossoms are everywhere and some are larger than a hand. Interesting that I was just reading that hibiscus blossoms are now found to be a wonderful anti-oxidant. So they provide a lifting of the spirits in several ways.

The dunes on the beach spell out Coronado so the pilots flying over in military planes have a welcoming sign. The four drunk women who were on the trolley with us and were giving the driver a run for his money were calling out, “I want to see them. I can’t see them.” This is the first time I heard about the flight attendant that pulled the shoot out of the plane as Victor suggested how they could really enjoy seeing the letters. Vodka on a 90 degree day does not create a pleasant personality. The women were so loudly taking pictures of one another that much of the narrative was lost from that point on. They were wearing very expensive jewelery and kept moving from seat to seat expanding into the space. When they finally got off, all of those on the trolley spontaneously applauded.

The information about Orange street came through as they nodded off for a while. The idea was born to barge in orange trees but the rabidly hungry rabbits made short work of them so today the palm trees stand along the sun baked street. Apparently, they enjoyed the cedar trees as well. Yummy.
