We had a great weekend, visiting with Alison in San Diego. We got to see her lab and the critters she's trying to raise and encourage to propagate. She took us out on the Scripps pier to see some of the gorgeous Southern California coastline. We got to see her new apartment and meet her fellow. Joe is a really nice guy - I'm glad we got the chance to meet him, too. We stayed in one of the old SD hotels - the Lafayette. It's been gently refurbished, and was a neat place to stay.
We stopped at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana on the way back. They have a superb traveling show of the Chinese terra cotta warriors. We always love a chance to see one of these exhibits. And this was one of the best we've ever seen. It even included models showing how it's been determined that the craftsmen made the statues.
We're off early this morning, taking the boat to Catalina Island. This will be an all-day trip - including renting a golf cart to get around, and taking a bus tour into the Nature Preserve. So much to see and do.
We're taking lots of pictures, but you'll just have to wait. I trust everybody to keep the home fires burning and the internet working properly.
