25/11: Walking around San Diego

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. As John and Carol are vegetarians we thankfully were spared from the "tofurkey" and enjoyed John's famous cheese fondue for dinner. It's been a long time and it was wonderful.
Carol suffers from post polio syndrome and has stability issues. A couple of years ago Barry, a stability dog, came into her life. He is a large, strong German Shepard who helps her out a lot. When Zaph and Barry met in our trailer it just took a few seconds of sniffing and everything was fine. It was a little different today at John & Carol's condo. Barry kept showing Zaph the door and a one point had Zaph cornered in the hallway. We think the main objective was to keep Zaph away from Carol. After while Barry did get use to Zaph in the condo. Apparently, this routine will happen each time we come to the condo as Barry does this to another dog that visits often. Gracie, the rabbit, and Zaph agreed to give each other space, plus Gracie decided to stay close to her home.
John, Barry, Ed, Zaph and I spent the after walking around the "periphery of downtown". San Diego is a beautiful city and set up for walkers to enjoy.
Barry trying to keep Zaph in line. Barry is very cute as he makes "talking" sounds as if he's trying to tell Zaph what to do.
Gracie hanging out beside her house.
The building on the left is where John, Carol, Barry and Gracie live. Count down four from the top to find their unit. The photo on the right is a view of downtown.
Walking along the trolley line. The convention centre is on the left.
The entrance to the Gas Light district. Lots of shops and restaurants.
The green building was once owned by Wyatt Earp.
San Diego has a beautiful harbour with lots of boat yards. Across the bay you can see active Air Craft Carriers. One of these was used to help the recently disabled cruise ship. That cruise ship is also in the harbour getting repaired.
Barry checking out the water.
Part of the San Diego skyline.
The motley crew getting their photo taken. John, Barry, Zaph and myself. This statue represents the famous photograph taken when the end of WWII was announced. The photo on the right is the Star of India, a steel hulled ship built around 1865. The ship is part of the Maritime Museum and gets taken out for a sail every now and then.
Have to include an art shot every now and then.
More interesting looking buildings. John told me the name of the building but I don't remember.
San Diego at night as seen from John & Carol's condo. Amazing view of the city from their home.
