The first stop on the cruise was San Diego. Yes, that was where we registered. Yes, that is where our travel buddies and best friends live. We, knowing the area pretty well and having access to the car we left in the parking lot, set off for a day on our own.
David disembarked first and went to pick up the car. He drove to the cruise terminal, picked us up and we headed straight to The South Beach Saloon (first building on the right) in Ocean Beach for the best fish tacos in the country!!! Yes, we've done this before...:)
We watched the surfers for a while and then ate lunch.
Ocean Beach is always entertaining. Home of Hodad's and funny signs.
And then headed to Balboa Park to see the rose garden (Kathy's idea of heaven) (and I'm glad we did because there was nary a rose in bloom at Butchart Gardens in Victoria) and the cacti garden.
This rose was as big as my head and extremely fragrant!
We walked those fish tacos off, returned the car to Marge and Dave's garage and called a cab to take us back to the ship.
Next stop: Los Angeles.
