We are attending our fourth reunion of the USS San Marcos, an amphibious assault ship on which Bill served while in the Navy. We flew into San Diego Thursday evening from Atlanta and are staying at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina. Our room has a great view of the city across the waters of the marina.
San Diego is the eighth largest city in the United States. The Navy and the Marines have facilities here. The size and expenditure for the Navy facility here rivals the one in Virginia.
Friday we took a harbor cruise, got a tour and dinner on one of the newest ships in the US Navy, the USS Wayne E. Meyer - a destroyer that can launch guided missiles. After two hours wandering around in Old Town, we took the tour bus back to the hotel and collapsed.
The pictures are from the harbor cruise.
Coronado...Hope you are both having a great time. EF
