Musings From San Diego
Man, this place is beautiful! By the time we all got ready, it was 11:30, and we started out by driving to the Cabrillo Monument.
The weather was a little gloomy, but we managed to get some incredible views of the San Diego bay & skyline.

The little lighthouse on top is quite quaint, too (though I was struck by a mild bout of vertigo!)
After that, we drove back into the city, to Pacific Beach where we had lunch, and paddled in the Pacific Ocean (now I've done both coasts! Yaay!). The Pacific Beach area is quite a neat locale - it's not very highly developed (coming from New York, "developed" equates to concrete jungles, and skyscrapers!), and there are a lot of little shops, boutiques and restauants on the main roads ... a nice place for a few hours' diversion!
In other news, Ashok Roy took his GMAT today and made fantastic score of 720 (on 800). We're now back in the apartment, resting up and baking a cake for him. As luck would have it, Monday's his birthday ... so it's a double celebration! I believe we're going to a restaurant - Blue Ginger - tonight, and then to a nightclub. Tomorrow's the Superbowl, so nobody's going nowhere! :-)
