A great time in San Diego!

I had a great time during my parents' visit this August in San Diego. Mike and Patti sure had a great time and so did I. We saw a San Diego Padre game, got to Pacific Beach to see the surfers, visited the USS Midway, toured through the newly updated Hotel Del Coronado, and took in the views from the top of the Manchester Grand Hyatt.

Yacht inside a ?? Mega-Yacht

CHECK THIS OUT~!!!

I was biking on the Embaracdero in downtown San Diego this past April, when I came upon this sight. The striking part is that the yacht inside is a large Viking, probably 32 foot. I mean, a large boat in its own right. To see it actually moored INSIDE a larger boat was kinda cool. That's why I had to stop my bike ride and take a couple quick snaps.

Giant 10 Lb Lobster Caught off San Diego coast

My friend Brad is a pro lobster diver here in San Diego. He dives off the Ocean Beach coast with a night light and a bag, roots around under the rocks, and comes up with the maxiumum 7 lobsters per night just about every time he goes out. There is a lobster season so they have time to regenerate.

By the looks of the one he caught last Friday, it might be time to open the season up a bit more. This is a pacific spiny lobster, probably 10 pounds and between 20-40 years old. Amazing that he gave himself up but, damn, was he tasty...







Here is a video of the lobster
