A couple days after Ocean Beach and Mission Beach we went up to La Jolla. We got off the bus right in front of the mural above (I couldn’t get a wide enough shot so I did this clumsy in-camera stitched panorama, hence the barrel distortion). A hopeful sign.

San Diego’s airport is right in the city, which means you can see the planes landing quite close.
