It was a shame we didn't see more of him - but between his plans and ours they didn't always match up!

The seals/sealions were so very lovely but do pong a bit!

The city has tried to combat the smell many times over the years, but it doesn't stay away for long. George's is one of the most popular restaurants in La Jolla- sorry you had some hassle getting your table at first, but glad you enjoyed your meal. George's has one of the best views anywhere!

I can tell you what that green box is that has the poem all over it. It's a call box that is unlocked during the summer months, so people can call the lifeguards if there's an emergency. But, there is more to it- the box is also a tribute and memorial to a well-known local bodysurfer named David Freeman, who drowned off that part of the coast where the box is located, back in the 90's.

Thanks for that - it is so interesting to know the history behind it, though sad too.

The weather was just amazing - we were so lucky! We said the same two years ago when we were in Florida at Christmas! Seems we chose the right coast this year!

I love seeing the wildlife! I always manage to walk a lot on holidays - shame I can't manage it on a working day!
