Heading westerly

Flowers on the hillside in San Diego

Old town San Diego

Sand dunes for miles and miles

Yuma weather was fantastic! 82 degrees . Went to our first casino on this trip and contributed to the economy. Drove around Yuma and visited different resorts- checked out what's available for the retired set.

Yuma is on the border with California. so we are into our next state. In California autos pulling trailers have to drive 55 miles and hour while the rest drive 65.

On to San Diego. Neat landscape (hilly and huge rounded rocks) through the desert hills (looks like Sahara) and then out to the coastal green. Flowers are blooming on the hillsides and the grass is very green. Looks very californiaish. While in San Diego we stayed in Mission Hills Rv Park right near the water. Very beautiful area. Visited Old town which they consider the birthplace of California and did a "Diner drivein and dives lunch at the Blue Water fish market. Tried fish tacos with tuna, large shrimp, red snapper and swordfish. The fish soup was the best.

We were planning to leave San Diego on Friday March 11 and drive to the Santa Barbara area along the coast, however we changed our plans and stayed an extra day in San Diego due to the tsunami warnings. They evacuated the Rv park (along with other coastal communities) that we were planning to stay at. There was only minor damage and wave swell but best to be safe. We went down to the beach in San Diego but couldn't see very much as the day was foggy. This is definitely a surfer paradise.
