John S, Ed, Barry, Zaph and I decided to go for a big walk around downtown San Diego this morning. First stop was the bakery with the wonderful croissants and good coffee (according to Ed). Second stop was the market in Little Italy. There were crafts, specialty items, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh baked bread, pastries, dips, samosas, cooked foods, preserves, flowers, well just about everything. As we were full of croissants only the samosas tempted me .... yum.
I think 4 or 5 blocks of the Date Street were closed to traffic for the more the 150 booths that make up the the market.
I saw this little fellow walking and asked his owner if he was a Welsh Terrier. The owner was shocked that I knew his dog was a Welsh ... I told him that Zaph's best friend is a Welsh.
After we walked through the market we headed to the waterfront. The Star of India is sailed once a year. It is also open for tours.
The yacht Luna is the private yacht of Roman Abramovich (he's a billionaire 12 times over). The yacht cost $185 million USD, was delivered in 2010 and is 377 feet long. There are two helipads, several small boats, one covered swimming pool and has a crew of 40. The windows are bullet proof.
Walking along the Embarcadero. It was a beautiful morning, sunny and around 60F so lots of people were walking around.
Zaph was thirsty after walking for more than an hour. John S found a washroom building that had three fountains --- one for adults, one for children and one for dogs. Zaph and Barry thought this was great.
On the left is the dome on top of the new public library. John S thinks that dome is to give a bit of sun shelter to the windows of the reading rooms. The building on the right is John S and Carol S's condo. Their unit is one of the ones with the pointy balcony.
After a rest Ed, John S, Carol S, Barry and myself went for a drive. Only five would fit in either vehicle so Zaph got to rest at the condo. Barry is Carol S's service dog so he needed to come.
