Coronado Beach

Today (Tues 7th March) we decided to have a fairly leisurely last (whole) day in California. In the morning we went to the Historic Old Town of San Diego, which is much restored and consisted mainly of restaurants and shops. It’s quite pretty and we wandered around happily. Back in Coronado we had lunch before heading to the beach. We brought beach towels from the hotel and I relaxed on the sand while James took himself for a big walk towards the enclosed naval area. He had a lovely time and saw UH60 Seahawk and V22 Osprey helicopters, and a C2 Greyhound on board delivery aircraft, among others. 

I was feeling preoccupied because Kenneth phoned to update me about Jackie, who is gravely ill, but it was good to be on the wide, sandy beach in the sunshine. 

Later we went to Little Frenchies for dinner. The food was excellent but the restaurant was rather noisy, I think that it must have been the acoustics. It quietened down by the time we were tucking into our delicious soufflés, and we had a nice chat with our waiter, who is Jamie’s age and about to go travelling in New Zealand for his honeymoon.
