San Diego Photo Journal: Coronado Island

I was determined that my first visit to the west coast included a trip to the beach - I'd never seen the Pacific, let alone put my feet in it. A short ferry ride from our hotel was Coronado Island (more of a peninsula, really), and although I only spent a few hours there, I walked the whole width of the island and certainly got a feel for the Cali beach style. As a regular east coast beach vactioner each year, it was refreshing to experience the west coast translation. In short, it - and the beachy breeze - was fresh and lovely. And I got to see dolphins (even if my camera was not as cooperative)!

Coronado also included the silliest thing I saw all week in San Diego - a Segway tour! Watching them scoot around the island was nothing less than cartoonish.
