Country Girl in the City #4

We visited Coronado Island, which isn’t exactly an island. When I lived in San Diego, it cost money to cross the bridge to go there, so I didn’t go very often. Now it is free. Hunh?

This is a beautiful beach with white sand that gets raked regularly.
The Hotel Del Coronado is the big draw here. When I was in college, sometimes people would go into the fancy lobby of the fancy bathroom and take pictures in there. That’s in the days when a “selfie” required a tripod. (We felt a bit weird carrying a tripod into the bathroom, but did it anyway.)
I wanted to go into the tower but couldn’t figure out how.
I did boldly climb stairs into areas for registered guests only and was delighted to see this mural on several walls (Was it wallpaper? I wasn’t bold enough to go touch it).
Isn’t this awesome?
A sailboat with black sails?
My people with Point Loma in the background. The last time the three of us were together at a beach, it was the Mediterranean in Israel!
It was so hot in Israel that we couldn’t stand close together for the picture. (And I am wearing the same clothes that I wore at the beach on Coronado.)
