Tall ship in San Diego

How to get yourself good and tired… and sore

One of the great things about San Diego is that there are so many ways to get around:

Those are just a few. Obviously there’s the ubiquitous car, motorcycle, and bus, too. So yesterday I traveled 11.1 miles and today another 15.1 miles, all on this:

Yesterday’s ride was west, to the beach, specifically the end of the San Diego jetty where the San Diego River meets the Pacific Ocean and where a colony of fine, furry, four-legged felines live:

Today’s ride was east, into the boondocks, where the wildlife is a little more wild:

Of course I have billions and billions and billions of pictures, but you’ll just have to wait because I am sore, sore, sore, needing a good soaking in the hot tub with a margarita close at hand.

And then, get this, the glutton for punishment that I am, I’m going on an 8-mile hike out in the boondocks tomorrow with the San Diego Urban Explorers, urbanites who explore the boondocks, not people who explore urbanity like you might think. Our goal tomorrow is to get to Lake Morena where, rumor has it (and in this case I discovered that the rumor is true), there are caves. Yahooo! Who knew there were caves in the San Diego County boondocks?!!

      We have quite a few Urban Explorers who take their dogs with them.

      As I understand it we will not be going deep down into the caves. However, that probably won’t prevent some of us from going in for a few feet or so.

      A couple of years ago, probably for my 15th anniversary, Jim and I went on a sailboat ride on America 3. Now that its America’s Cup days are over, it’s a sailboat tourist boat. A lot of fun!

    Don’t worry…when you go for that punishing hike you will suffer in a whole new way as a different set of aching muscles scream abuse at you lol … of course they will be accompanied by the ones from the bike ride too but hey! Exercise and fresh air is so good for you! 😀

    I like the thought of a feline colony…the one in your photo kinda brings to mind colonies of birds…but I guess they are the reason this feline is looking so lazy and content…and FULL!! 🙂

    Those top two tram photos really caught my eye…so bright and clean and modern…you wouldn’t like to see the ones we have here lol 😉

    On 2nd thoughts, maybe they’re not trams…they look like it to me, but I guess we’re talking USA here and therefore you likely as not have far superior trains to any we Brit’s might possess! Our trams run along the roads on tracks but these look like superior rail tracks (tram lines look like that here) running through stations… if so I stand corrected 🙂
