Pacific Beach and Pier

One of the things to miss about living in San Diego is the ready access to the beach and surfing (my surfboard is now collecting dust). This flag delineating the line between surfers and swimmers serves as a reminder.

The Crystal pier hotel has rooms that are built on the pier so the waves crash underneath of your room. I had to wait with people staring at me for a long time until that pesky bird would fly into the correct spot....just like photographing children....they never cooperate.
