Anyhow, here is more of the motorbike ride. We are at a rest stop. It was gorgeous ... but chilly.
Just a quick shot of a sign for a town named after momma's friend Manzanita. CUTE!
FYI: San Diego is probably the only city with its airport right in the centre of the city - so people can watch planes coming and going. [I think it's been illegal to hang around watching planes in every city ever since 9-11.] Clint LOVES planes and we spent 30 - 60 minutes daily just watching them. They were so LOW and so close and so magnificent. The photos don't do it justice. Some of them go right over your head and you feel like you can reach up and spin the giant tires with your hand.
... or the perspective makes it seem like the wing tip will knock the top off the fencepost.
Clint was the kid in the candy store!! That jet was HUGE. It was a Japan Airways - 757 I think. Clint knew right away.

Hmmmm, yes. We were riding the bicycles in a tunnel underpass [under a highway] and my rear tire popped. It went "SNAP!" Really loudly. The tunnel is very dark and probably dangerous to ride in, but there's no other way to go unless you ride an extra mile, so we got caught. Argh! I had no idea how to change the tire ... so I Googled it. LOL. We also called the company owner who brought me an entire wheel replacement. But in the meantime, I learned how to remove the wheel and tire myself - by Google!! I must remember to bring vinyl gloves next time just so I don't get so greasy.
We were also in San D during one of the student marches to protest for new gun restrictions and gun laws. The student shootings in Parkland Florida happened on Valentines day. There were 100's of protests and rallies around the world. [FYI: news clip: On February 14, 2018, a mass shooting was committed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen people were killed and seventeen more were wounded, making it one of the world's deadliest school massacres.]
I took some photos of the signs.
And now it's our last day and we are having a final cappuccino and tiramisu. DELIZIOSO!!
... aaaannnnddddd, my boarding pass for home. A short trip but fun. :)
