Overlooking the amphib base, the strand, the Pacific and Mexico.
from the bridge:
the bay, Coronado, the Pacific and Point Loma.
I'm not so fond of the eerie, early morning marine layer from the Pacific,
especially when my insane chauffeur insists on driving next to the
aaaaugh! ...
outside "barrier wall"!
The bridge, from the Coronado city golf course on an early December morning.
One of our fave's, The Ferry Landing's Il Fornaio Restaurant.
Across the street from the Ferry Landing, Tartine's.
Another fave eatery.
Their chocolate mousse is indescribably delish!
The Coronado City Park is across from the city library on Orange Avenue.
The have their little art shows and lots of senior acitivities.
I think Coronado was adding a fountain, or just making repairs, when
The Flower Girl (flower stand)
was able to set up shop in front of McP's On Orange Avenue.
Opened by a Navy Seal, it's a cozy irish pub in an 1800's building
with a fireplace, and tv's set to sports channels, lol.
We don't know where they get their beef, it's the best we've found in town.
Nothing like an old-fashioned barber shop, that likely survives well
in a Navy town.
See signs below, lol:
Clayton's Coffee Shop on Orange.
They've really maintained this old 1950's diner, well.
Down home food, like Gramma used to cook.
No nouveau/fusion foods here.
Booths and a counter.
Breakfast only.
El Cordova Hotel
Restaurants and Shops
Everything we've used here is great.
Home of a former US Ambassador.
(to Switzerland, as I recall)
Looking down Ocean Avenue, to "the del".
The Boathouse
was built in 1887. A year before construction began on the
Hotel del Coronado.
This pic was taken in the wee hours of the morning at the
Coronado Municipal Golf Course.
Halloween on the island.
January poinsettias.
Bayview Park that looks across to the San Diego skyline.
and...across to the USS Midway Museum.
Early January morning at The Ferry landing.
A few sheckles takes ya to or from downtown San Diego.
