Go to Ocean Beach, Coranado...
by elighadams
Go to Ocean Beach, Coranado Island, Take ferry from Coranado island to downtown San Diego. Loma Point. Get lost on the freeways and residentail streets. Its a good way to find cool spots and cool people. Go to Tiajuana, Mexico. Travelodge hotel on the border. There was no running hot water. also this picture is of me on some beach located on the Californian/Mexico border. off in the distance was the most beautiful sunset. hard to see in the picture but it was truely amazing.
Jacarandas
by Yaqui
Jacarandas in another beautiful plant that you will see in many pacific coastal communities all along Southern California. Jacarandas start to bloom during May, June and well into July. They are absolutely a beautiful tree. As scarce as their branches may appear, they off much shade during the hot humid days. They either bloom in blue or purple blooms. They only bloom fully for maybe three months of the year, but those months they are stunning and so appreciated.

La Jolla
by vigi
Yubert told me that this should be pronounced as "LA-HO-YA" This supposed to be a Must-See recommended by VTers in the forum. And I must say, very true, this place is the MOST BEAUTIFUL place in San Diego that one cannot miss out. Wild sea lions taking their afternoon nap on the beach, squriels asking for junk food, peaceful walk, deep blue color sea with white waves hitting on cliffs... I can walk around here for hours not feeling boring looking at the nature. Check out my Travelogue for more pictures.
JESSOP'S CLOCK
by lmkluque
J. Jessop and Son's is an old, established jewelers, has a lovely shop in Horton Plaza and it's street clock has become a landmark of San Diego.
In 1907 it was first located at 952 Fifth Avenue, twenty years later, it was moved to 1041 Fifth Avenue and in 1984 it found it's home in Horton Plaza. The clock's history began as an idea thought out in England and not until Joseph Jessop settled in San Diego did it become a reality.
Stories and legends have been told about it, a poem has been written about it and San Diegans have, for nearly 100 years, known the time by it's accuracy. There are 21 dials, marking hours, minutes, seconds, date, week and month and 12 of the dials tell the time of major cities around the world. It has stopped only three times.
1. Mysteriously, the moment it's creator died.
2. When a carriage drawn by horses ran into it.
3. Not surprisingly during an earthquake.
Throughout San Diego such treasures have been honored in such a way to preserve our history. The lovely buildings of the Gaslamp as well are testimony to the active efforts of the San Diego Historical Society and the interest people of San Diego show to remind us of days past.
Why do they change their houses so often?
by matcrazy1
Hmm... I don't know.
Reffering to official statistics relatively more people in San Diego County changed their homes (54.9% !) in 1995-2000 than in the rest of California.
Very "moving" population there :-))).
