More Sightseeing in La Jolla

This is our last day here and it's been fun. We went out to Shelter Island, formed when the Navy deepened the channel into San Diego Bay. Located here is Seaport Village, a 14 acre shopping area of restaurants, specitalty shops and themed eateries including this one with a Volkswagen bus inside, in a harbor-side setting, like our Granville Island. There was a seashell store which was amazing. There is even a restored 1890's Loof Carousel.
We passed the airport, cruise ships in the harbor and historic ships, one the Star of India. Launched in 1863, it is a beautiful sailing ship, the oldest ship in the world to maintain a regular sailing schedule.




We finished our sightseeing with a trip to La Jolla, pronounced with a J when we listened to 'Gabby, our Garmin. This beautiful little seaside town made us think of Horseshoe Bay when we wound around and down to the beach. The cliffs were carved out of sandstone, by centuries of wave action. The surf was pounding on the shore and the smell of the salt water was ambrosia to me. There were lots of prairie dogs on the top of the cliffs, one standing in the left photo.
