10 June 2007 - 10:07A Look From the Room

I’ve been wondering what San Diego looks like – near the Town and Country where I’m staying for the week. As the taxi drove me on I-8 towards the hotel last night, all I saw were signs for hotels and even more hotels, but I suppose that’s why the street is called Hotel Circle.

So from the room’s balcony looking towards the front of the convention center, there’s a bunch of palm trees, a flag, some hotels, and the highway. And looking from the front door, there’s an exciting view of more palms and a shopping mall carved out of the hills. I guess that explains why the trolley stop was called the Fashion Valley stop.

Some reason there seems to be a constant haze when looking further than half a mile.. and San Diego has been much cooler than I expected – at least compared to the Bay Area.
