flowers, Old Town Inn, San Diego

We’re off to San Diego. Drove through the burned areas around routes 78, 79, and interstate 8. That was an amazingly damaging series of fires the area had in October of 2003. The devastation is complete. Charred trees on charred ground. Apparently the heat was so great that even seeds and roots are gone. We got to our motel, the Old Town Inn at 4440 Pacific Highway, San Diego, but were too early to check in, so I dropped Arthur, Kerstin, and Leonard off in Old Town, which is about 1 block from our motel, and went searching for a place where I could either buy another 256M flash chip for my camera OR download pictures to a CD so I’d have room to take more pictures. Not easy to do on a Sunday morning. Finally found a Kinko’s to do the downloading and met the crew back in Old Town for lunch.
