san diego

perry's cafe in the travelodge parking lot. so what's with this place? they opened at 6:00am, i ate there around 11:00am, and the line outside was at least this long the whole time. the food was ok, but nothing special. are they the only place open for breakfast on sunday morning in el cajon?

headed to the city after lunch. meant to get a picture of 805 west cedar street, where i spent the afternoon, but forgot to. this will have to serve. same idea, different city.

i checked into motel 6, walked around downtown a bit, headed back to my room. thought i was in for the night, but i started talking to someone who said i should go to the caliph. i checked the map, and since i was just a mile from it, i headed over there. hung around for an hour, but only two older guys showed up, and they were a couple. it was karaoke night, which may have kept people away.

san diego has a nice gay neighborhood -- rainbow flags on restaurants and stores all along fifth avenue.

got up the next morning, had a good breakfast at a new agey coffee shop, and headed back not-here for the rest of the morning.

i headed towards the zoo. there's a large chunk of town made up of parks, museums, theaters, performance spaces, and the zoo. all kinds of museums; i snapped this one as i drove by it.

that sign reads "san diego zoo". this is about as close as i got to it. i actually got into the parking lot, but

1. it was already past 2:00.
2. i was tired.
3. the walk from where i would have had to park to the gate looked bad enough, let alone walking around the zoo itself.
4. as i was pondering these things, the radio announced that it was going to rain, with a threat of flash floods.

so i just headed back to pomona.

took this just for gurski; it's a plant by the ocean just as you're leaving town.

i started up interstate 5, but realized i was almost out of gas, so i had to get off and travel the pacific coast hiway again, looking for a gas station. got to see some more ocean, anyway.

back on the i-5. "stop here -- u.s. officers"? what was that all about? they just looked briefly at every car and waved it on. some immigration thing?
